Our Story
Since 1983, Koinonia Christian School Red Deer has offered quality Christian education for Red Deer and area families. Founding principal of the school, Mr. Vern Rand, started the campus school at Woodlea Pentecostal Church in Red Deer and faithfully led its growth until 2021. Today, the campus school serves approximately 200 students and is growing!
In 2015, Koinonia@Home programming was added to support parents seeking independently governed Christian options for their family, including Home Education, Distance Learning and Shared Responsibility programs.
Through the years the spirit and integrity of the board has remained constant. We provide a caring and compassionate educational community for families where Christ's word is honored and faith in Jesus is discipled.
