The Elora Road Christian School is a ministry of the Elora Road Christian Fellowship Inc. The school opened in the Fall of 1981. As an extension of the Christian home and church, the Elora Road Christian School assists and supports families by training their children in Christ-like character and Christian faith, and by providing an excellent academic foundaton.

Note to our school's volunteers: We want to say “Thank You!” to so many of you for being a part of our team of volunteers in our school. Touching the lives of our children and youth is about as important as it gets: imagine the significance of impacting the next generation for the Lord…amazing!
The Elora Road Christian Fellowship has adopted a policy called “Plan to Protect”. It is very rigorous—and time consuming—but it is worth it. Implementing this policy means our school environment will be SAFE for kids, and safe for volunteers.
