Affiliate Benefits
Insurance
Edvance has worked with Richard Van Dyke Insurance Group | The Co-operators to provide a comprehensive group insurance plan for affiliate schools. The program provides enhanced coverage limits at lower prices than schools would be able to achieve on their own and is available by emailing Richard_Van_Dyke_Insurance@Cooperators.ca or by calling 519-837-0026. The program has been designed specifically for schools, so members can be assured that they have the coverages they require. Low-cost liability insurance for groups that rent school facilities is also available as part of this program.

The CEB Solutions Health and Pension plans are given oversight by a Trustee board made up of Canadian Christian education champions and plan participants who are passionate about ensuring Christian Education in Canada flourishes.
Student Assessment
Participation in NWEA's Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments provides valuable and immediate feedback to help learning leaders, teachers and resource specialists more efficiently identify students' academic progress, whether those students are not meeting benchmarks or are ahead of their grade level.
Our goal in exploring MAP is to deepen teachers' and students' ability to understand very specifically each student's current level of abilities in core skills — numeracy and literacy — so that we can help support each student more effectively in their ongoing skill development.
By administering the assessment in a student-friendly online format two to three times a year, we can know more specifically how each child is progressing in their growth and can plan specific interventions as needed for each child to succeed.
