Local school changes Kindergarten format
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
A Fort St. John elementary school is deciding to do things differently for the upcoming school year.
For the 2011/2012 school year, Fort St. John’s Christian Life School will be switching the schedule of its Kindergarten class from full, to part-time.
Â
Christian Life School will be the only school in Fort St. John with a part-time Kindergarten program and is only one of a few schools within the province to follow this format.
Â
The upcoming school year will have Kindergarten classes take place on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
Â
School Administrators Don Irwin and Robert Carroll say "independent schools have the choice of full- or part-time and we surveyed the new Kindergarten parents and the large majority preferred part-time, so we are going with part-time."
Â
For more information on the new part-time program, please visit the school’s official website, or call 250-785-1437.
