Science & Math
Students at GCCS are provided with opportunities to assess and extend their learning in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
Gauss Math Contest
Each year students from GCCS take part in the Gauss Math Contest which is designed by the University of Waterloo’s Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing. Our students are entered into a competition pool of 62 Christian Schools, many from the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools. Results for this pool of competition are tabulated by Toronto District Christian High School. Woodland Christian High School generously sponsors our entry fees.

Topics covered a variety subjects including science, history, music, art, music and community.
