Community for Christian Learning, circa 1975-1978
How we began . . .
In 1975, a handful of dedicated Christian parents decided to form an educational community which would enable them—in the words of the first Head Teacher, Mr. Bob Hudspith—"to be a learning community for Christ's sake", with a view to "growing in His Service." The school was simply named The Community for Christian Learning, and they met in a church basement for the first year. Since that time, much growth has taken place, including several location changes, a name change, and a significant increase in the student body! Most importantly, this institution—this community of learning—has remained committed to growing in His service, and we in the present are grateful to the Lord for growing and sustaining this community which spans generations.
Our Timeline
(This is a work in progress—as we receive information, we'll add to our story)
1975-1980
The Community for Christian Learning Association of Ottawa (CCL) was incorporated September 29, 1975. The school met in the basement of Faith Lutheran Church at 43 Meadowlands Drive for a year, and then moved to Westboro Baptist Church, on Richmond Road. Initially there were only three full-time teachers and a handful of part-time teachers. Student enrolment the first year was about forty-five, and there were just three graduates; by 1979/80, the graduating class had tripled to nine!
