WHY WE'RE BUILDING
Building Faithfully for Generations to Come
The Lord has richly blessed ACRES with continued growth — and with that blessing comes the opportunity to expand. As our school community grows, so does the need for space to serve our students and families well.
This capital campaign is an invitation to invest in the future of Christian education at ACRES. Together, we seek to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us, laying a strong foundation for the generations that will follow.
Through a four-year pledge campaign — September 2026 to September 2030 — we invite families, alumni, churches, and businesses to prayerfully consider how they might partner with us in this work. By God's grace, and through the support of our community, we can continue providing Christ-centered education for years to come.
Growing
Enrollment
The Lord continues to bless ACRES with increasing enrollment. This expansion provides the space needed to welcome and educate a growing number of covenant children in a Christ-centered learning environment.
Strengthening
Our Facilities
Seven brand new classrooms will expand our facility and replace our portables with permanent, high-quality learning spaces — built to serve students and teachers for years to come.
Investing in
the Future
By expanding today, we prepare for tomorrow. This project helps ensure faithful Christian education remains available to future generations, on a strong foundation for continued growth.
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
Seven Classrooms.
One Lasting Investment.
This addition includes seven new classrooms and supporting facilities — replacing our existing portables with permanent classroom space, while providing the capacity needed to accommodate future growth. It's a long-term investment that will better serve students, staff, and families for many years to come.
OUR HISTORY
A legacy of growth
only by God's Grace
ACRES — Attercliffe Canadian Reformed Elementary School — opened its doors in September 1995 with just eight classrooms. As enrollment grew, so did our campus:
1995
ACRES officially opens with 8 classrooms, 125 students & 5 staff members
2014
Two additional classrooms, a kindergarden room and a new library added
2018
A gymnasium and attached catering kitchen were added to better help serve our community
Today
Our facility has reached full capacity, and we look ahead to the next chapter
