Highroad Academy

Our school, set in the beautiful eastern Fraser Valley, began as a dream to offer high quality, Christian education in partnership with like-minded families. Since 1978, we have pursued that dream by developing a nurturing community that strives to provide our students with an academically challenging, emotionally supportive, Bible-based education. It is our goal that our students be independent, lifelong learners who understand that there is a purpose and plan for their lives, and that they make a difference in their world. Highroad Academy is pleased to warmly welcome families and provide personal tours. We invite you to come and discover whether Highroad Academy is the right fit for your family.

The spiritual development of each child is cultivated through a Bible story circle time that includes songs and prayer, as well as spontaneous discussions about God and Christ-like living. We are a play-based preschool program with a wide range of educational activities including; arts and crafts, sensory experiences, dramatic play, movement and music, beginning letter and number recognition, and science discovery. We believe in the importance of engagement in God’s creation through outdoor play and exploration.

We foster relationships with the families of our preschool children by hosting events that include: Parent Orientation, Open House, Mother’s Day Tea, Father’s Day events, Christmas concert, and End of the Year Celebration parties. We also communicate through monthly newsletters and our Facebook page. We believe that the early years are an important time for children to learn foundational life skills and to demonstrate servant attitudes toward others. Children learn these skills by promoting turn–taking, delayed gratification, empathy, and random acts of kindness.

As a Primary Department, it is our desire to be Christ–centered in our teaching, learning and interactions with each other. We strive to provide an open and caring learning community where all students feel safe and cared for, and to function as a family where all students, regardless of their age or ability, feel accepted and included. Highroad Academy warmly welcomes prospective families and is pleased to provide personal tours at your convenience. We invite you to come and discover whether Highroad Academy is the right fit for your child.

Primary teachers connect with parents and families through classroom blogs. The blogs are used to keep parents informed of upcoming activities, keep them up to date on classroom learning, and to post pictures of memories that are made in the classrooms and on fieldtrips. Highroad Academy provides opportunities for students to learn the joy of serving through activities such as Service Day, Salvation Army food drive, missions fundraisers, garden projects and campus wide clean up. We value teaching our students the importance of serving others.
