An innovative approach to affordable, full-time, biblical-worldview education

Affordable
As a Group 3 Independent School CCLC will not receive the government funding that other Christian schools rely on. Despite this fact, we plan to keep service fees affordable for families.
Full-time
Our office hours of operation are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm weekdays. The drop-off window
at our campuses begins at 8:15 am and classes start at 8:30. Classes finish at 3:30 pm and the pick-up window runs until 3:40.
community-based
Local churches who share our vision provide CCLC’s learning communities with campus facilities (classrooms, washrooms, activity areas). Each host church has its own
student body and establishes its own Parent Committee with representatives…
Christian
The educational model we aim to develop, though non-denominational, will be Christian, without compromise, as per our Articles of Faith. Our faculty will teach and model a biblical perspective.

Education is much more than facts and ideas being poured into an empty vessel; it’s about learning how to think rationally, critically and to communicate effectively. It’s about developing an accurate and healthy worldview as well as values, character, wisdom and discernment.
Why are people leaving government schools?
The government-run education system is failing BC’s families in so many ways. Political special interest groups work to undermine the values and beliefs upon which Canada was established, marginal-izing and discriminating against those who disagree with them.
Looking For An Alternative?
For financial and practical reasons many families in our churches have limited options for Christian education.
Compass Is The Solution!
Through a network of learning centres operating in church facilities, CCLC will provide affordable, full-time, community-based learning.
Our name and motto
Our School’s Latin motto, Dicite Veritatem in Caritate, is translated “Speak the Truth in Love”.
Our name, COMPASS, derives from many Scriptures including:
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life…’”
John 14:6
“Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path…”
Psalm 27:11
“Train up your children in the way they should go…”
Proverbs 22:6
“May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ”
2 Thessalonians 3:5
“If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure…”
Exodus 18:23
“God’s way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true…”
2 Samuel 23:2
“Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth…”
Psalm 86:11
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.
With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments.”
Psalm 119:9
“So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.”
Proverbs 2:20
“I have taught you the way of wisdom. I have led you in the paths of uprightness”
Proverbs 4:11
“Whoever is wise, let him understand these things… for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.” Hosea 14:9
Endorsements
“We need options for parents, and CCLC is providing one of the most exciting and advanced solutions I know. COMPASS is committed to a robust Christian worldview that flows through every part of the curriculum, and to teaching fundamental skills in thinking and logic that will equip children to become leaders in our world.”
Paul Dirks, Lead Pastor, New West Community Church
“COMPASS Community Learning Centres is an affordable, God given alternative, piloted by extremely dedicated Christian educators and leaders. I graduated from a small Christian college led by the same kinds of educators; I received a high-quality, Christ-centered education that prepared me well for over 45 years of fruitful ministry. Trust God and help children join COMPASS today. You will never regret it!!!”
Kevin Cavanaugh, retired Lead Pastor of Cedar Grove Baptist Church
What People Are Saying
Large numbers of Christian parents send their children to public school because it’s “free” without realizing that it may actually be the most costly spiritual decision they’ve ever made.
