Helping Christian Schools Succeed in Difficult Times

We are living in interesting times. At Nimbus Christian Education we remain thankful for serving a great and mighty God as we navigate these uncharted waters.

We are also very thankful for the support that many of you have provided Nimbus over the past years. Would you consider providing additional support during these challenging times? We're humbly asking, if you are able, to give an immediate donation to allow us to support Christian Schools across the province. With the closing of the physical buildings of all of the schools in Ontario, most of the Christian Schools are in the middle of a rapid pivot to remote and online learning.

Nimbus is uniquely positioned to help them. We would like to offer schools our online courses to use for free; but, we still have to cover the costs. Our minimum operating cost for this is $25 per student. If you are in a position to donate we could begin offering this option to schools next week so that they can begin operating online quickly.

If this is something that is possible for you, please contact our office by email: office@nimbuseducation.ca

Thank you for your consideration and may God bless you!

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...
