New, higher fundraising goal set for Vernon Christian School expansion project

Jun 9, 2026 | 1:00 PM

The scope of a local school expansion has grown, prompting a new fundraising campaign to support the project.

Vernon Christian School is expanding with a new gymnasium, enlarged common spaces, additional classrooms and other teaching areas.

As construction progressed, a decision was made to add a second storey to the expansion to accommodate even more classrooms.

To support the increased scope, an anonymous donor has pledged up to $200,000 in matching donations.

“The school is in awe of the gift from this anonymous donor,” Vernon Christian School principal Matt Driediger said.

“It is an enormous blessing that will allow us to reach our goals and better serve students for years to come.”

Donations to the matching campaign can be made online.

With the expanded plan, the project is now expected to cost about $3.25 million.
