Providing Christian Education since 2005

From Kindergarten through Grade 12

WHO IS THE OXFORD REFORMED CHRISTIAN SCHOOL?

The Oxford Reformed Christian School is a parent-run school that provides a Christian education to approximately 360 students in Kindergarten through grade 12. We teach from a distinctly Reformed Christian perspective, and strive to prepare our students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and Biblical worldview that will allow them to excel in their future and live God-glorifying lives. The instruction provided is Christ-centered, teacher-directed, and child-oriented. To God be the honour!

OUR BACKGROUND

The 2025-2026 year is the school’s 21st year of operation with around 360 students enrolled. Oxford Reformed Christian School is parent run and was established in the spring of 2005.

  • The school begins – The first School Board, which consisted of members from various Reformed churches, was elected in April 2005. The Board began their work immediately, and within a few months, teachers were hired, and curriculum was chosen. On September 6, 2005, with much joy and thanksgiving, the school opened its doors to 116 students at the first location in Springford, in the basement of a church, along with several portables.

  • New building – In December of 2012, we moved to the new building that we are in today in Mt. Elgin. Since then, a second phase has been added to the east and north wings of the building, providing more classrooms.

  • The Next Phase – Our enrolment continues to grow. We are currently in the planning and fundraising stages of the next phase, to add more room classrooms for a growing school, possibly with a separate high school building.

Frequently Asked Questions

To be a member, persons must:

  1. Be a member in good standing of a Reformed Church.
  2. Adhere to the three Reformed Confessions (The Belgic Confession, the Canons of Dordt, and the Heidelberg Catechism).
  3. Apply for membership and obtain, with a signature, confirm agreement with the Constitution and By-laws.
  4. Pay the minimum membership fees as set by the School Board. This fee is included with tuition for enrolled families.
  5. Be at least 18 years of age.
    Families who do not meet the requirements above, but who still desire to have their children attend Oxford Reformed Christian School, may apply for enrolment by submitting a pre-enrolment form (found in the forms tab), sending it to secretary@orcschool.ca.

Parents are expected to involve themselves in the education of their children and, if possible, in additional school-related activities, such as volunteering for fundraiser events, committee work, attending society meetings, becoming in-school volunteers, and/or assisting the staff. Newly approved families will be given a volunteering preference form to submit with their registration package, choosing which annual event they would prefer to assist with. This is how the workload is shared, and it brings families together.

Oxford Reformed Christian School is under the jurisdiction of a member-elected School Board. The Board runs the business operations of the school. The principal is responsible for day-to-day operations and regular reports to the School Board.

Seven buses transport the students daily. The current transportation boundaries are Aylmer, Scotland, Tillsonburg, Woodstock, and Mitchell, and seem to expand every year. Transportation costs are included in tuition.

Our class sizes depend on the grade. Kindergarten through grade 8 have classes with an average of 25 to 32 students each. The secondary classes range from 5 to 30 students.

Our current enrollment is around 360 students from Kindergarten through grade 12.

Our tuition depends on which grade your oldest child is in. Please refer to the tuition section in the About Us tab for more information.

What we stand for

As our school’s name indicates, the Reformed faith is held dear to our families.

Statement of Purpose

Oxford Reformed Christian School purposes to provide an academic education that: glorifies God and is founded on Biblical truths; requires the integration of those truths into all areas of life; encourages thedevelopment of the whole person; and nurtures students to be discerning and responsible citizens of thecommunity.

Statement of Beliefs

We believe that the Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God and that men of God “were moved by the Holy Ghost” to write the very words of Scripture. The Bible is therefore without error in its original manuscripts. God has supernaturally preserved the Bible and it is the sole and final authority for faith and life providing encouragement, guidance, comfort, and instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

Statement of Faith

The basis of the ORCS Society is the Word of God as written in the Old and New Testaments. The school also holds to the historic Reformed confessions: The Belgic Confession of Faith, the Canons of Dordt, and the Heidelberg Catechism.
