What is the
The Nexus for Innovation in Education is the articulation of the vision of HCOS to be a place of relentless innovation, educational transformation, and intentional generosity. As both a physical location and virtual ecosystem, the Nexus serves as a gathering point for thought leaders and innovation implementers to gain knowledge, inspiration and support in the growing movement to transform education locally, nationally and globally.
The Nexus is not a building, yet it needs a building. The Nexus building will empower us to:
Make a difference globally by expanding resources, infrastructure, and education into at-risk communities globally through StudyForge and Spero, helping to reduce education barriers and break cycles of poverty through the power of accessible, high quality education
Expand Flex Academy to provide Christian education to 500 students from Jr. Kindergarten to grade 12, setting a new standard for innovative hybrid education
Support other schools to explore hybrid education as an option for their educational institutions. With lessons learned and resources to share, we are ready to offer support to other schools looking to learn about Flex Academy, access resources and support, and consider adopting and implementing a hybrid approach
Expand HCOS and Flex Academy’s curriculum and technology, amplifying the impact of StudyForge, which is already used by over 140 institutions and over 31,000 students across North America. Some notable institutions include Arizona State University Prep, Florida Virtual School, Sevenstar, BYU Independent Study, Idaho Digital Learning Alliance and more
Create a Centre of Innovation in Education, providing training conferences, resources, and education on best practices for teachers, staff, and parents throughout BC and beyond
A International Network of Partnerships
Currently, HCOS collaborates with other educational institutions in over 40 communities from British Columbia to Ontario. These partnerships reflect a shared commitment to innovative, Christ-centered education and the belief that the future of education lies in hybrid learning—combining the best of campus and online experiences to allow students to flourish according to their individualized goals.
We’re ready to bring these partners together to innovate further, share our learning, and build lasting partnerships for the benefit of communities across Canada.
A Space Designed for Belonging and Growth
Stepping into the Education Nexus will feel like entering a place filled with possibility.
The facility is intentionally designed to be inspiring yet welcoming, creating a nurturing environment where every student, educator, and visitor feels connected and at home. At the heart of the Nexus is the emphasis on relationships—between students and teachers, families and staff, learners and their community, and most importantly, between each person and God.
The entire environment is crafted to be hopeful, fresh, and joyful, reflecting the vibrant, Christ-centered learning community it houses. Every space is designed to inspire curiosity, growth, and belonging, inviting all to experience the transformative power of education grounded in faith and excellence.
