2024 Teachers' Convention
Join us October 24-25 for an enriching experience that fosters professional development, collaboration, and spiritual renewal for educators in Christian schools.
Teachers' Convention
Our annual Teachers’ Convention is hosted by a different school each year. Relevant themes, speakers and workshops are provided, with engaging worship, conversation, and, of course, excellent catering of meals and snacks throughout the event.
Our 2024 Convention will be hosted by Taber Christian School in Alberta, on October 24-25.
We are excited to have Carolyn Arends as our keynote speaker. She will lead us through three sessions.
