Millwoods Christian School, located in southeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is an alternative school in the Edmonton Public School System.[3] With its campus situated in the neighbourhood of Tweddle Place in Mill Woods, Millwoods Christian has been operating since 1978. The school opened as an independent school under the Calvary Community Church, a non-denominational church located in South Edmonton.[4] In the year 2000, the school entered into an agreement with the Edmonton Public School Board, and is now currently operating as an alternative program with the EPSB.[4] Millwoods Christian School has a strong theatre program and a well recognized learning environment. Every year, many high school students volunteer and raise money to travel to countries in need and serve for weeks at a time with the Millwoods Christian School service trip program.

Service Trip Program
[edit]MCS has been actively involved in serving others in their community and around the world by giving students the opportunity to enroll in a service trip program. This includes traveling to places like Belize, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.[6] Fundraising is a big part of joining a service trip. This is done with events such as a silent auction, doing bottle drives and the Taste of MCS; which gives the students a chance to sample different cultures of food. If students do not choose to join one of these trips, they join what is called Team Canada, helping and serving the community within Edmonton.
