It's done!

It’s done!

 The first of many, God willing. 

 We have now completed the 3 lesson series on Christian Worldview in math that we have been working on for the past 2 years. With the support of the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools we have created a group of challenging lessons for grade 12 students to think about the role of math and faith in their lives. We are excited to share this with anyone who wishes to use them. We will be integrating them into the online math courses we offer, but we wish to make them available to any teachers, students, or parent who wishes to stretch their thinking. 

 Access to all of the resources can be found in this Google Drive folder. All of these resources are available under a Creative Commons attribution 4.0 license.

 If you’d like a preview of the video lessons we’ve posted them on youtube here: (Be warned they are not easy! They are meant to challenge the student’s thinking and unsettle them.) 
Lesson 1 What is Math?
Lesson 2 Math and Education
Lesson 3 What is Truth?

 We would love for this to only be the first in a great many new Christian resources for education. If you would like to see that happen we would love your support in the following ways:

  • Donate. Your funds would help us create even more opportunities to stretch our children’s faith. We would greatly appreciate monthly or one time donations to this cause. Click on this link which will take you to the Christian School Foundation where we route all of our donations.
  • Help us find more believers with great lessons in any subject area. Maybe you have an amazing lesson that shows Christ in English or perhaps someone you know who has fantastic lessons that reveal God in Geography. We need Christians with insight into all subject areas to help us build amazing learning experiences. Please email office@nimbuseducation.ca if you are interested in this role or know of someone else who could serve in this capacity.


 Thank you for your time and we look forward to connecting with you again!

Supporting Students with IEP’s and Special Needs

Learning new concepts can be difficult for any student, but there are some unique challenges for those diagnosed with a learning disability. However, there are many opportunities for students of all abilities to excel on their academic journey.   Whether your child has been diagnosed with a learning disability or is a struggling learner, it’s natural to feel uncertain about their future. Some learning challenges are not as obvious as others, so students may suffer in silence and become lost in a traditional classroom. With the right tools and environment, students with various learning abilities can experience academic success. Making educational accommodations for students with special needs is essential to maximizing their learning potential.   Here are some common examples of accommodations: Providing extra time for tasks Simplifying and/or re-phrasing instructions Answer questions orally (scribing when needed) Frequent breaks throughout the day At Nimbu...
