Olds Koinonia Christian School (OKCS) is a K-12 school of approximately 360 students situated between the communities of Olds and Didsbury, Alberta.
Faith-based school of choice
OKCS is a school of choice within Chinook's Edge School Division, allowing families a faith-based option for their child's education.
OKCS mandate
The school's mandate is to assist the Christian family, in cooperation with local non-denominational, Evangelical, and Protestant churches, in training their children intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually toward maturity and responsible independence. Biblical studies consist of monthly scripture memory, weekly chapel, and regular Bible classes, while all classes are taught from an evangelical point of view.
In-person and online learning streams
In-person learning has been the primary focus of OKCS. However, it has recently started a new online learning program that allows students in Grades 1-12 the flexibility to learn from home and attend in-person activities 1.5 days a week. Students in both streams have access to extracurricular activities and programs, including dual credit opportunities.
What OKCS has to offer
Academic success is a priority, and provincial testing results have been excellent at all levels.
Athletic teams at OKCS have also been very successful over the years, resulting in several Zone and League championships and many opportunities for teams to attend provincials at the senior high level. Our sports program includes golf, cross-country running, volleyball, basketball, badminton, handball, and track and field.

Several bus routes allow for transportation to OKCS from across the division. (Exceptions apply- contact the school for more information).
