We appreciate the diversity of faith expressions but also value the unity of faith in our one God and the desire to have our children develop an understanding of Him and a relationship with Him that brings us all together.

The Listowel Christian School Society was formed in the 1950’s by a group of people who believed that it was their responsibility to provide scripturally directed education for their children. They believed that it was their responsibility as parents and as the people of God to establish a school that in all of its programs would honour God by leading children to a deeper understanding of what it means to serve God.
Stepping forward in faith, their dream became a reality when, in 1974, phase one of the current building was erected. In September 1974, the school began operating with 2 staff members and 39 students. It began small but the idea of Christian education was contagious and it soon began to grow. In the 1980’s the second phase of building was completed, which included three classrooms and two offices. A gym complex, phase three, was dedicated in 1999 and included the gym, kitchen facilities, change rooms, storage areas, and the relocated library.
Although our beginnings were rooted in the Christian Reformed churches, our current demographic includes families from a variety of Christian churches and denominations. Today, our families come from over 15 different churches within our supporting area. We appreciate the diversity of faith expressions but also value the unity of faith in our one God and the desire to have our children develop an understanding of Him and a relationship with Him that brings us all together. The interdenominational flavour of the school is experienced both at the staff level and at the parent/student level.
Listowel Christian School serves Listowel and surrounding areas including Palmerston, Gorrie, Fordwich, Harriston, Wingham and Atwood. We have now celebrated more than 40 years of Christian education in the Listowel area and we look forward to many more.
