History

In late 2019, a combined meeting of boards, 26 members in total, met to discuss the future of Christian education in our region.

Despite the ups and downs of 2020, the 4 board chairs continued to hold regular joint meetings, and discussions within each board. The most encouraging and important takeaway was a true spirit of cooperation and agreement. There was a commitment to growing and sustaining affordable Christian education in the broader Quite region.

To continue the momentum and clarify a vision for the future, the four boards approved the establishment of a Quinte Region Task Force. Membership of the task force included representation from all school communities. The mandate of the task force was: To fully explore a new collaborative single vision for the long-term future of Christian education in the Quinte region.

The Task Force met regularly to develop a recommendation plan which was presented to each boards in the spring.

QCHS membership approved a pilot Middle School project for the ’21-’22 school year. This program facilitated the move of the SCA gr. 7 and 8 program to QCHS.

April 2022 – The Unity Team (formerly know as the “Task Force” ) recommended amalgamation of the 4 schools, as well as a single-tuition model JK-gr. 12.)

Pledged donations totaling 500k for 5 years were sourced in order to balance the anticipated shortfall of the single-tuition model.

The search for the first QRCS Executive Director begins.

August 1st – The schools officially amalgamated and “Quinte Region Christian Schools” officially exists, owning and operating the 4-school campuses.
