IN 1988, some families at Parksville Fellowship Baptist
Church committed themselves to providing quality education, which would
integrate their children’s entire school experience into a Christian
worldview.
As more families embraced this vision, Parksville
Christian School was moved to the old Nanoose Elementary School property,
and renamed Beacon Christian School (BCS).
Now, 20 years later, Beacon continues to develop more
programs to meet the needs of their families. The parent-run board has
recently put together a three – five year strategic plan to assist in
moving forward into the future.
This year, projects include redesigning the school
branding and signage, piloting a program to provide education to students
beyond grade 8, developing a structured intramural and sports program,
increased industrial arts and home economics courses, and a comprehensive
library program.

Implementing these programs is just another step toward
the pursuit of academic excellence and spiritual maturity.
BCS has a 20-year history of providing high academic
standards and a caring environment, continually revealing the Christian
worldview to students.
Contrary to some views, Christian education is not an
effort to remove children from the culture, protecting them from any
negative influences. Instead, we are seeking to educate our children to
know that God applies to all of life.
