Author Paul Kienel describes the purpose of a Christian school education as follows:

"To present to our children, as clearly as possible, the truth about God, about life and living, about our world and everything in it, and to present the Word of God as the authoritative source upon which to build a life that has purpose and meaning".

At our school Biblical truths are integrated into everything being taught. The students are taught to use the Bible to evaluate all of life, and are challenged to see the necessity of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Slave Lake Christian Academy does not exist to shelter students from the world, rather it is a place where students develop their God-given potential to enable them to make an impact for Christ in every area of their lives. We are an independent, accredited Koinonia Christian Education Society (KCES) and Alberta Independent Schools and Colleges Association (AISCA) Member School.
