Central Alberta Christian High School Society operates a faith-based secondary school in Lacombe, Alberta, delivering 86.9% program spending with a $2.2M budget and a 10-member board. Serving families in the Dutch Reformed and broader Christian community between Edmonton and Red Deer, this school demonstrates strong financial discipline with a healthy surplus and above-peer program allocation.
Our Verdict: This is a well-run Christian high school that directs 86.9% of expenditures to educational programs — above the 81.0% peer median. The $194K surplus on $2.2M in revenue demonstrates healthy financial management, and the 10-member board provides stable community governance. Revenue growth has been modest at 1.79%, but the latest-year jump to $2.2M represents a significant acceleration. Donors and tuition-paying families can be confident in sound stewardship of educational resources.
