Faculty & Staff
The faculty of Westminster Christian School is fully committed to the ministry of Christian education. At WCS, teaching extends beyond classroom instruction and WCS teachers, many of whom have children in the school, integrate scholarship with discipleship and a Biblical approach to discipline. Approximately 85% of our teachers hold secondary degrees, and they are encouraged to continue their own studies toward advanced degrees and through various education courses that refresh their Christian worldview and update knowledge and teaching methods.
