Greetings!
Dear Parents: We are pleased with the response to re-registration. I encourage anyone who has not re-registered to please do so as soon as possible. I am extremely aware that the cost of education at PCS is a financial sacrifice for many parents. We are doing everything we can to keep our fees at the lowest possible rate, while maintaining an academically challenging program. After March break, all applications will be treated on a first-come basis. We are receiving many requests from the community, and we would like to know what space is available in the fall for new families. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse your re-commitment if there are tuition arrears or behavioural/academic issues.
Yours in His Service,
P.D. Ogborne, Ed.D.
Pickering Christian School
