Deer Lake School

Deer Lake School is committed to providing exceptional child-centred Christian education in a safe and caring family environment. As a Seventh-day Adventist school, we welcome students from all faiths and cultural backgrounds, and our enrolment reflects the rich diversity of our local community. We desire to be a school where every child is valued and loved, regardless of race, gender, religion or socio economic status. We passionately pursue holistic excellence in all things-mental, physical, spiritual and social. We strive to create an enriched learning environment where students can develop a sense of responsibility through service to one another, their neighbourhood and their world. Our curriculum at all grade levels incorporates an innovative educational paradigm based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey. Through the development of strong personal habits of character, we believe that every child can be a leader in their areas of giftedness and can become the unique individual that God has created them to be. Each day in every child's classroom, students learn about Christian values through Bible stories, and songs about God and Jesus. However, we desire to respect each child's faith background. If you, as parents and guardians, have particular beliefs that relate to eating restrictions, rituals, clothing requirements or other values, please feel comfortable in communicating these to your child's teacher or to school administration, so that we can be sensitive to your beliefs and practices. Thank you for considering Deer Lake School for your child's education! We view it as an honour to partner with you in helping your child reach his or her true potential.
