Could I work while I am at school?
As we have a 100% course load and students
are fully involved in community life, outreaches, classes, etc., there is
no time for outside employment. In fact, this would become more of a
distraction from the focus and purpose of the One Year Programme. All
students are involved in practical daily duties within the community
context, so there are no employment opportunities within the programme
itself.
Can I leave the Capernwray campus?
Yes, students are allowed to leave campus
during their free time. If a student wants to leave for an overnight,
they need to fill out a 'Student Absence Request Form' and receive
permission prior to leaving. The form allows Capernwray Staff to
know where the student is going, when they will be returning, how we can
contact them in case of an emergency and who is covering their daily
duty, etc. A day trip across to Vancouver Island does not require
permission unless it is during classtime.

Is there any free time? What could I do with
it?
Monday through Friday, with the expection
of Wednesday, students have afternoons available to them (Fridays may
have one afternoon class). Weekends are also student 'downtime' through
to Sunday supper. See the sample 'weekly schedule' for more information.
There is a calendar of scheduled 'extra' activities made up each year for
students, as well as outreaches that happen on a weekly or monthly basis.
Students are also responsible for disciplining their own time to
accomplish their course assignments, as well as personal activities such as
laundry, exercise, socializing, etc, so 'free time' is occupied by a
variety of things. Students are also free to go across to Vancouver
Island during this time. We also have a gym on campus, as well as
computers available for e-mail purposes. |

What are daily duties at Capernwray ?
Each student is assigned a daily
duty, which will take approximately 45 minutes. Duties cover all sorts of
practical activities such as setting tables, serving the tables throughout
the meals, dishes, the daily cleaning of bathrooms and various buildings,
etc. This is an excellent way for students to learn to work together, acquire
skills and enhance their work ethic for a lifetime investment. A healthy degree of responsibility is important to us all.
Is there a dress code? What are the guidelines?
Clean, neat and modest dress, as worthy of a Christian who desires to
glorify the Lord Jesus. Students are asked to show
moderation and modesty at all times, regardless of prevailing fashions in
a permissive society. Only on Sundays is there a specific dress code.
Ladies are expected to wear dresses or skirts to the local church
meetings, Sunday supper and evening worship at Capernwray . Men
are expected to wear dress or semi-dress pants, an appropriate jacket or
sweater, shirt and tie. This is an outward expression of our reverence
and worship to the Lord as we begin a new week together as a Body, before
Him. |

When does the weekend begin and what are my options to do?
Students usually have one class each Friday
afternoon and are then 'free' through until Sunday supper. To a large degree, weekends are
students' downtime. Students may be involved in some outreaches
which happen on the weekend once a month. Weekends are a good time to
catch up on course assignments, laundry, sleep, etc. This is unstructured time
for students to choose their own priorities.
What does a week's schedule look like?
The week's schedule is full, demanding, yet energizing. It includes lectures, worship, private study, sharing testimony, and can include venture trips to one of many destinations in the opening weeks of the school year.

What are your facilities for computer/internet access?
Capernwray has several computers which you may use for your computer needs and for internet access. The computer/internet fee is $ 35 for the year. Students are also able to sign up for an e-mail account on Registration Day through Capernwray Harbour. This allows students to send and receive e-mails. Students receive an e-mail address based on their name such as in the example: Joe Smith: jsmith@capernwray.ca. The internet connections available on campus are somewhat limited; you can use these connections to check your own Web-based email accounts, such as Gmail, Hotmail, etc. Note that internet access is also available at the Chemainus library and at various cafes in the town of Chemainus.
Can I bring a vehicle to Bible School?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a vehicle to Bible School with you. There is a parking lot near each of the student accommodations where you can keep your vehicle. If you do decide to bring a vehicle that is registered out-of-province, please check with your insurance company for details on coverage.
