Knights Preparatory School opened its doors in 1986 under the leadership of Pastor Ed Horak from Rhema Church, the school consisted of 18 children and a single teacher.
Today, Knights Preparatory School is a vibrant, growing school of almost 400 children.
God gave the pastors of Rhema Church the dream and vision to start Rhema Christian School.
As the school grew and began to thrive, the church premises was quickly out grown and we moved to our current campus.
With our new buildings came a new name: Christian Academy. The school continued to flourish under the care of some special principals and board members and in 2007 become Knights Preparatory School.
Many people have been instrumental in the growth and development of our school and Sidney Bernic, who was the Chairman of the board for many years, is one such person.
He had a passion for educating the individual and believed strongly that school should prepare learners for the real world. Sidney often said, "You start school with a box of crayons and leave with a Bic pen!" He challenged Knights to be different, to be a school that celebrates the uniqueness of the individual, and give children the grounding to let their dreams soar.
The vision and baton of our school has now been passed to the Swart family. Warren Swart was mentored by Sidney Bernic for many years and served as Chairman of the board for over 10 years before becoming the major shareholder of Knights Preparatory School.
