Guido de Brès serves the Canadian Reformed churches as a high school with its basis in the Word of God as confessed in the Reformed confessions. The school has been serving the Canadian Reformed community in southern Ontario since 1977. As a Christian private school, Guido de Brès does not receive any government funding and is financially supported through tuition payments and through many donors who believe in the importance of Reformed education. The school is named after Guido de Brès, a preacher of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands who died as a martyr to the faith in the year 1567. He was the chief author of the Belgic Confession, one of the doctrinal standards of the Reformed Churches. A statement from article 12 of this Confession inscribed in the wooden plaque in the front lobby summarizes our school's vision: " ...to the end that man may serve his God".
