About Cascade

Our History

Cascade Christian School began as Valley Christian School – Chilliwack in 1991 as a satellite campus of Valley Christian School which at that time had its main campus in Abbotsford. It started as a parent-run school, primarily by parents from three local churches, who were looking for another option in Chilliwack. Valley Christian School (Chilliwack) began with 25 students in Kindergarten through Grade Nine, in a single classroom. It was the founding parents’ desire to raise their children in a biblical fashion at an evangelical inter-denomination school. Chilliwack Alliance Church was chosen as a facility, as its education wing was not being used at its full capacity, and the leadership of the church desired to house a school.

In 2001 the MEI Society in Abbotsford, took over the operation of the Chilliwack campus and we became MEI Chilliwack. MEI ran the school successfully for nine years. After 19 years of operation it was decided that for the school to continue to be successful, it would be for the school to operate as it’s own entity, this led to another important transition point in the life of the school. In July 2010, the MEI society handed school operations over to the newly formed Board of Directors of Cascade Christian School. 

Through a strong foundation of family and community support, Cascade began to establish itself as a school of choice within Chilliwack. The school moved down the street from the Alliance Church to the Salvation Army Church for five great years before finally purchasing our own property on the old UFV campus on Yale Road.

After establishing ourselves on the Yale Road site, God’s provision and direction led to a collaboration with Midtown Church to build an addition of a gym, music/band room and three more classrooms. Cascade now felt complete, we had a classroom for every grade and other essential spaces that were necessary for our school. Midtown Church moved its office into the school building and upon completion of the gym, began to host services on Sunday mornings.

God has faithfully led Cascade forward, providing property, amazing staff, a church collaboration and a strong school community. We are thankful for all that He has done and look forward with anticipation for His continued work in the years to come.
