Centennial Christian School in Terrace is located in the spectacular Skeena Valley of Northern British Columbia. Our multi-denominational school offers an excellent educational program with a wide variety of activities that honour God. The smaller school environment and classes allow for unique field trips and opportunities that enhance the development of all students. Visits to Ottawa (Socials 11) and the Haida Gwaii (English 11), along with band and sports trips, broaden students' experiences and perspectives and provide for dynamic learning situations. Outdoor activities and overnight trips connected with Sciences and Applied Skills put into practice classroom learning. What a place to live and learn!

As well, board members are expected to act fully for their organization to the exclusion of others. - Mission or Money?
In a time when schools are facing declining enrolment and budgets are difficult to balance, schools are looking for different ways to continue to provide quality educational services for students and fill empty seats.
