SPIRITUAL IMPACT

The daily opening prayer and devotions is the first scheduled activity in each class at PRCS. We also have a weekly chapel service where the students come together as a student body. This time may feature local pastors, visiting missionaries, parents with special skills or experiences to share, and student involvement. Parents and all other interested adults are invited to worship with us.

The New International Version of the Bible is the version we have chosen to use in chapel, Bible classes and in scripture memory.

Commitment to the authority of the Bible throughout the entire curriculum means for example that science taught from the perspective that God created everything; that history will proclaim the sovereignty of God in the affairs of men; that literature must be interpreted in the light of a Christian world and life view; and that Christian life teachings will be based upon God’s design for His children, including spiritual and moral integrity. These are some of the specific curricular implications for Christians who want all of education to be “to the glory of God”.

Although we use a curriculum that reflects and encourages a Christian world view, our ultimate goal is to see the student find fulfillment in their Christian experience. Spiritual growth will be evident in their conduct and conversation.

Powell River Christian School is a member of the Society of Christian Schools in BC. This educational association gives professional assistance in developing the distinctively Christian dimensions of school operation and curriculum development.
