Who We are
KCS-Y is a small non-denominational Christian school providing Christian Education to students from Grades 1-5 via traditional delivery and Grades 6-8 via our virtual NorthStar Program. We are one of ELEVEN, Koinonia Schools that are under the auspices of Koinonia Christian Education Society of Didsbury, Alberta.

How we do what we do
As one of three private schools in the Northwest Territories we receive only a portion of public funds for education, all our other funding must be raised through tuition, donations and fundraising events. With the exception of Staff, all work is on a volunteer basis, from Board membership to fundraising events. Our tuition intake is based on a rate of $250 'per' month and pro-rated for families with more than one student. Our policy is not to refuse anyone entrance into the school based solely on a financial need. Throughout the year, we do some fundraising events, but have determined over time that they should be opportunities of service. God has blessed this approach and the labor of our hands.

What God has already done
Our students come from a cross section of cultures and are united by their faith in Jesus Christ. Through the past seven years, God has continued to show himself faithful to this work. He has graciously provided through the giving of others, and many times our needs have been met before our prayers have been uttered! We can indeed rejoice with David in God's provision.
In December alone, God opened a floodgate of fundraising opportunities, where our small group of families and supporters delivered Christmas newsletters throughout the City of Yellowknife. In addition, we received a completely unexpected cash gift from a group of Christians who had been called by God to give to us and obeyed. Their cheque arrived the same day that our back rent invoice arrived from our landlord.
