Timothy Christian School (TCS) in Rexdale will welcome four new staff members this fall.
Timothy Wang joins the school as a Grade 7 teacher, Kathleen Knox takes the lead in the Grade 8 classroom on a temporary basis, and Angela Bijl and April Lansing will serve as educational assistants (EAs).
“We are thrilled to have these new additions joining our staff,” said principal Margareth Lise. “We are looking forward to an exciting school year with an expanded staff and facility.”
Located at 28 Elmhurst Drive in North Etobicoke (Rexdale), Timothy Christian School works to educate and engage students for a life of service in Christ’s kingdom.
Last year, the school added a new atrium, gymnasium and offices. The project also includes expanded kitchen facilities and a drop-off zone for families with younger children.

The world is fascinating, he said, and journeying together to discover, learn and master knowledge is a great joy.
Mr. Wang’s hobbies include reading, physical activity and games of all types. He also enjoys history, visual art and cooking.

She grew up in Toronto and is excited to return home to be closer to family.
