Faculty Listing
BSLS provides a balanced, purposeful education, with curriculum designed to build a strong foundation based on academic skills that incorporate and meet the requirements of the Department of Education for Manitoba. Teachers are a vital factor in helping students discover and use their own God-given talents and abilities.
Our fully accredited, experienced faculty provide an environment where students encourage and support each other.
All academics are taught from the perspective of the Christian faith, so that as students learn the facts, they also develop God-pleasing attitudes and respect for others. Showing God’s unconditional love helps students become people of integrity and strong character.
