Darren Spyksma is the Director of Learning for the Society of Christian Schools in British Columbia (SCSBC). As a first generation Canadian, Darren would like to gratefully acknowledge that he lives and works on the territory traditionally stewarded by the peoples of the Sto’lo Nation. Supporting educators in creating learning that is engaging, empowering and fosters faith formation is Darren’s driving motivation. In his leadership roles, he seeks to challenge educators to explore ideas that focus on student development within a framework that is distinctly Christian. Darren is committed to promoting learning that is built on meaningful relationships, is demanding and rigorous, and is engaging and relevant for the learner. He works with schools to intentionally develop learning experiences that are transformational, built on students participating as faithful followers of Christ. Previous to joining the staff at SCSBC as a Director of Learning, Darren worked at four schools in various positions including administration.
