Mr. Klaas Hoekstra
Principal
Hello! My name is Klaas Hoekstra and as the principal of Taber Christian School I would like to welcome you to our webpage!
I would like to share a little background about myself. I moved here a few years ago from Ontario where I grew up. I spent a lot of my youth learning music and instruments as this was a talent throughout my family. Both my parents have a background in education and this inspired me to want to be part of what it means to pass on understanding to the next generation. I am married to Tanya and we have four children; Sebastian, Naamiya, Selah, and Elias. I am excited to be part of the learning that happens here at Taber Christian School, within the Horizon School Division.
At Taber Christian, we are excited to offer Biblically based education to the students that enter our doors. Our Mission is:
To provide a Christian educational environment in the community of Taber, which uses biblical teaching to prepare all students to reach their full potential, so they can serve God and others with a Christ-like attitude.
The teachers, support staff, and administration are working this out each and every day both as an example for our community and with helping our students grow in their knowledge of God and His wonderful creation. Our job is to work with parents as we train them "on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it". (Proverbs 22:6) The curriculum we follow, through Alberta Education, is a world leader in skills and competencies. Our students are part of a great system at TCS that wants them to be kids and enjoy their youth learning about God and serving others.
If at any time you would like to talk, please come by the school, call, or email me. May God truly bless the days ahead, and may we worship Him in all that we do!
