Discover your strengths. Explore your future.
The secondary school years are a time of growth, discovery, and important decisions. Students begin to explore who they are, what they believe, and where their interests and abilities might take them.
At Duncan Christian School, we provide a learning environment where students are challenged academically, encouraged to explore their passions, and supported as they prepare for life beyond graduation.
With a wide range of learning opportunities and a close-knit Christian community, students have room to grow, take on new challenges, and discover how their God-given gifts can make a difference in the world.
Academics that open doors
Our secondary program follows the British Columbia curriculum and leads toward the BC Certificate of Graduation (Dogwood Diploma).
Students develop the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities needed for their next steps, whether that means university, college, trades training, or entering the workforce.
Teachers encourage students to think independently, ask thoughtful questions, and take ownership of their learning. With support from our academic advisor, students can make informed course selections and begin planning for their future.
Opportunities to discover your passions
Every student brings different talents, interests, and goals to school. At DCS, we want to provide opportunities for students to discover and develop those gifts.
Alongside core academic courses, students can explore practical and creative learning through applied skills, woodworking, foods, music, and visual arts.
Hands-on experiences, work experience opportunities, and pathways into the trades help students connect classroom learning with practical skills and potential careers.
Whether students are preparing for further academic study, exploring a trade, or discovering an unexpected new interest, we want them to leave DCS with confidence in their abilities and a sense of direction.
Athletics, arts, and school life
School is about more than what happens in the classroom. Athletics, creative activities, and shared experiences help students build friendships, develop leadership skills, and become part of a larger community.
DCS students can participate in competitive sports such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton, and track and field. Music, visual arts, and drama productions provide opportunities for creativity and expression.
Special events, celebrations, and school traditions add to the secondary experience, creating memories and relationships that can last well beyond graduation.
Faith that shapes our lives
Christian faith is central to the DCS experience. Through Christian Perspective courses, chapels, classroom discussions, and opportunities to serve, students are encouraged to consider how faith connects with their learning, relationships, decisions, and future.
The secondary years are also a time when young people ask deeper questions and develop their own understanding of what they believe. We want DCS to be a place where students can explore those questions, grow in their relationship with God, and learn to live out their faith with purpose.
Service is an important part of that journey. Through community involvement, Missions Week, and opportunities such as the Grade 12 Mexico Missions trip, students experience what it means to put faith into action and serve others.
A community that knows you
At DCS, students are more than a name on a class list.
Our teachers and support staff care about students as individuals, taking an interest in their learning, their well-being, and their growth as young people. Counsellors, youth workers, educational assistants, and academic support staff are available to help students navigate both academic challenges and the ups and downs of adolescence.
We believe strong relationships and a sense of belonging help students develop the confidence to take risks, pursue their goals, and make positive contributions to their school and community.
Preparing for what comes next
Graduation is an important milestone, but our hope for students extends well beyond earning a diploma.
We want DCS graduates to leave with a strong educational foundation, an understanding of their gifts, meaningful relationships, and a growing faith that helps guide their decisions.
Whatever path they choose, our goal is to equip them to continue learning, serve others, and make a positive difference in the world.
