As part of their learning journey, our ELL students explore what it means to contribute courageously—within their homestay families, at MRCS, and in the wider community. This outreach marked an

How Programs Like This Shape Students for Life If you walk down the hallway on a Career Life Education (CLE) Foods class day, you might catch the unmistakable smell of something delicious cooking. You’ll also find high school students learning, chopping, mixing, and discovering practical skills that shape them long after graduation. This small but impactful program is one of many at MRCS that equips students to become creation caretakers, and community servers — and it’s the kind of learning

How Dirty Hands Are Building a Legacy If you ask our students what their favorite school supplies are, you might expect answers like binders or art supplies. But for one adventurous fourth grader, the answer might just be shovels, soil, and space seeds. Jerry Vos, one of our dedicated Grade 4 teachers, told story after story of students discovering God’s creation in ways that simply don’t fit inside a classroom. From restoring local forests to growing food from “space seeds,”

Our Bible 12 students visited Wagner Hills in Fort Langley. A faith based organization, they strive to bring healing, growth and transformation for those dealing with addiction. Our students got to visit the farm and see how God is working in the lives of all those who need Him.

Our senior math and science teacher, Mr. Coulter, is transforming the way students engage with problem-solving using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS)—a strategy from Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl. After the lesson introduction, students work in randomised small groups of three at whiteboards around the room. One student acts as a scribe while all three students discuss and collaborate regarding various problems and processes. This approach fosters conversational learning, encouraging students to talk through their thinking in a

We are incredibly proud of our high school students—along with a few talented middle and elementary students—for their outstanding performance in Anastasia! They used the wonderful gifts God has given them to sing, dance, and bring this story to life in an amazing way. A huge thank you to our dedicated cast, crew, and directors for their hard work and passion.

Mrs. Wilson’s Deep Hope for her students is that “as you pursue your career, life, and educational goals, you will first ask yourself: ‘Who does God want me to be? What kind of person is He calling me to become? How do I live Jesus’ story in my life?’ Only then should we consider, ‘What
