Teaching for Transformation

They exists to encourage and empower Christian school communities as they equip students to play their part in God’s Story. At Fort McMurray Christian school we follow Teaching for Transformation developed by the PCCE. While meeting the Alberta Education guidelines, Tft infuses Christian perspective, values, and worldview into our classrooms and courses.

Deep Hope
Our teachers annually create a "Deep Hope" for their classrooms. A Deep Hope is your heart-level vision for your students’ lives, not just their learning rooted in God's story. Each Deep Hope connects to our school wide Storyline for the year!
FLEx Projects
FLEx stands for formational learning experiences. Each year our school and classrooms will create and partake in FLEx projects. These projects take their faith and learning turning it into action. These are experiences that connect our learning/work to real people/problems (to go beyond our normal classroom walls). These are authentic opportunities for students to practice living the Kingdom story.
ThroughLines
Our 10 throughlines help our students to see where each of them are in God's story and to live that story. Throughout the year their are dedicated weeks to each of these throughlines that are learned about, and celebrated in the classrooms and Worship Wednesdays! Students who exemplify a throughline are recognized and rewarded.
