Exceptional Learning

Our Mission: Cultivating character through learning for a life of service to God.

Our Vision: To see all HDCH students become a faithful presence in the community that they serve.

Your commitment is what leads students to explore, expand and deepen their relationship with God through experiencing learning in unique and unexpected ways. These stories are possible because donors share their resources with HDCH. Discover more in our Impact Report.

The basis of Hamilton District Christian High is the triune God as revealed in the Bible. This infallible Word of God is interpreted from a Reformed biblical foundation where Jesus Christ is central to the Biblical story. In professing a Christ-centred foundation to education, HDCH asserts that the Triune God is the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of each student, staff member, parent/guardian, and the school community. In fact, all of life, including academics, is subject to His authority and is need of His transformational love.

For in Him, by Him and through Him are all things. (Colossians 1: 15-20). All of creation shouts of the magnificence of Jesus Christ. This is the core of the Reformed biblical foundation of HDCH.

• Christ-centred learning;
• unified learning mission;
• relevance to teenagers;
• healthy interpersonal relationships.

We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and confess that our faith must find expression in all our thoughts and actions. We dedicate our work to the pursuit of character development through learning, recognizing that true transformation can be found only in Jesus Christ.

We regard every student as sacred before God, who calls every one of them to obey His Law, and out of concern for their development as citizens of His Kingdom we dedicate our efforts toward a wholesome growth of their God-given potential. It is important that we deal justly with all students and make professional judgments regarding their academic, physical, and emotional characteristics as required.

We acknowledge the God-given authority of the parents concerning students’ education. We consider it a privilege to teach the students according to a plan of learning for which the religious direction is determined and accepted mutually by the parents and by the staff. We promise to establish a relationship of mutual confidence with the parents and the students.

We believe that the Christian School is a cultural expression of the Christian community’s faith commitment and that it is our task as educators to make plain to students the relevance of God’s Word in life’s total experience.

We are committed to the growth and development of the Christian community and desire a harmonious and communal submission in all areas of life to the power of God’s Word. For this purpose, we shall seek guidance and justice in our relations with the students, the parents, the Board of the school and all others who support Christ-centred education.
