Welcome to the Kelmscott John Calvin School. We are situated on 322 Lake Road directly behind the Free Reformed Church of Kelmscott. Although the urban region is creeping into our area, we are still somewhat rural and able to enjoy the space around us.
The school has been in existence for 41 years, having opened its doors in February 1983. It is one of the 5 schools belonging to the Free Reformed School Association. Parents of the Free Reformed Churches banded together to have their children educated in a place that agrees with what is taught at home, namely to have the children taught in the ways of the Lord.
Kelmscott John Calvin School is a K-6 school. We are registered to provide the curriculum as prescribed by the government, although within a Christian worldview. We offer all courses, including music and art. Our choice of second language is Indonesian which is taught from grades 3-6.
Unique to the school is our Tiny Acres Farm. This farm is closely linked to curriculum expectations and serves to enhance the work in the classroom. It provides a rich and diverse learning environment for all students, including those who need a different learning style to mainstream classes. Not only do they learn to care for the animals, but can also feed, pet and handle them confidently.
The school serves and is supported by the local Free Reformed Churches, with enrolment in the school being dependent on being a member of a local Free Reformed Church.
Please feel free to browse the rest of this website to gain more information about our beliefs, values and views on education and how that transforms into teaching the children in a Christian environment.
