Christian Principals Association of British Columbia

Our mission is to promote, encourage and develop servant leaders in Christian education. We desire to foster fellowship among education leaders, to consider what God is calling us to do in education, to shape a faithful response in our schools with a Biblical worldview and to relay relevant information to Christian school leaders.

Our primary tool for implementing this mission is planning conferences in the fall and spring of each year that meet these goals. We also work on initiatives like the new employment contracts published by the Society of Christian Schools in British Columbia, the leadership certificate, new programs and visits to principals in need of encouragement. The CPABC executive meets five times a year to plan and consider new methods of meeting the goals of our mission.

Over the past four years, the executive has met in fifteen different Christian schools in British Columbia. When we visit a school, we tour of the facility,  visit classrooms and spend time with school leaders. It is a chance to engage, to encourage and to understand the contexts in which our principals and assistant principals lead their schools.

The CPABC provides representation on the Christian Schools Canada board and the  Society of Christian Schools in BC board. We also serve on important committees such as the SCSBC Compensation Committee, the SCSBC Policy Development Committee and the Leadership Certificate Committee. Although we do not have an executive director, collectively we serve our membership in a volunteer capacity.
