CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT​

​​

St. Timothy’s accepts faithful Christian families where both parents are Christian believers. We may consider acceptance of families with one non-believing parent in rare and exceptional cases only. The non-Christian parent must be supportive of school teaching, cannot hold leadership positions (eg. board or committee membership) or volunteer in a way that brings direct contact with students (eg. classroom support, driving for field trips, etc.), and will not be granted membership (including voting privileges).

 

Parents must:

• attend church on a regular basis for at least one year prior to admission

• demonstrate active involvement in and commitment to their church

• be seeking to raise their children in the knowledge and love of Christ

 

At the board interview both parents will be questioned about matters of personal faith.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS​

​​

St. Timothy’s is committed to ensuring an academic standard that challenges most children without overwhelming them.

 

As a result of this principle, while we continue to have split grades and limited staffing, the following practices are necessary in order to ensure that our staff are able to maintain the academic standard.

 

Children at St. Timothy’s will be academically able. 

 

Children who have been diagnosed with a learning disability will be required to meet the same academic standards as all the other children in their grade level.

 

Children who have been diagnosed with a learning disability will be given as much individual instruction and encouragement as their classmates, and extra resources to the extent that it can be reasonably accommodated.

 

Children who are not able to keep up will either be held back a year or may be denied admittance the following year.

 

Children with a severe learning disability will not be admitted to St. Timothy’s without adequate staff, funding, and facilities.
