The Neerlandia Christian Education Society represents the community that supports and encourages the operation of the Neerlandia Public Christian School. Neerlandia Public Christian School’s motto is: “Learning to Serve”. This is a continuing goal and vision for the student body. The Kindergarten through Grade 9 school is located in the hamlet of Neerlandia, a thriving farm community located north of Barrhead, Alberta. We serve over 210 students as a Christian alternative school within Pembina Hills Regional Division #7. Although alternative status was achieved in 1995, our history of providing Christian education in the community goes back to 1915 shortly after Neerlandia's founding by Dutch immigrants. We incorporate a Christian world and life view in all the subject areas, challenging students to apply their learning to a faithful life of service. We also emphasize service projects throughout the year as we try to teach the students to serve God and others.
