Throughout April and May, many Christian schools in Ontario celebrate #ChristianEducationWeek. This is a time to give thanks for the ability to engage in God's kingdom work through faith-based education. We celebrate students, past and present, and the dedicated teachers who share the biblical story as they participate in their school communities. We also look forward with profound hope to see how the enduring impact of Christian education shapes the lives of students long after graduation. A heartfelt THANK YOU to the teachers, leaders, support staff, and volunteers who make their local Christian schools beacons of light in this world! Why is Christian Education important to you?

In recognition of #WorldDownSyndromeDay, we're highlighting a new #BookForBelonging—'Eyes Different Than Mine' by Erin Johnson. The story shares the loving relationship between a sister and her brother who has Down syndrome, serving as a powerful tool for learning about belonging. As educators and leaders, embracing stories that celebrate every student's unique contribution is vital. We encourage you to consider adding this book to your classroom library. Stories have the power to shape us—and this one promises to be one of inclusion, acceptance, and joy! #InclusiveEducation #WorldDownSyndromeDay #EducationalResources #Edvance

A cairn is a human-made stack of stones raised for a significant purpose, usually to mark an important event or idea, or perhaps as a way to provide ancient directions or to indicate a gateway into a new land. When we think about Christian schools operating faithfully, humbly, and courageously around our world, a cairn can be a powerful metaphor.
