About Us
Welcome to Westminster Christian School. We hope this website is
helpful as your family considers a Westminster education. We are
thankful that you have chosen to examine the option of an education
at Westminster Christian School.
The decision on where a child will receive an education is never
an easy one nor should it be. The educational process will shape
your child in more ways than just those that are academic. During
a k-12 experience a child's worldview is molded and shaped. A child
will often develop heroes and mentors as well as life long friends
during this time of his or her life. Those should be a reflection
of who you are as parents.
Our mission is of great importance in this process we call education.
Westminster Christian School feels strongly that the responsibility
of education, according to the word of God, rests with the parents.
Therefore, the education of children is truly a partnership between
a school and the parents.
There are many views of Christian education. At Westminster Christian
School, we believe the educational experience is not a pragmatic
one but instead it is spiritual in nature. The process of education
will develop the academic side of your child but it will also contribute
to your child's faith, socialization, emotional stability, and view
of the world. If the education of your children is a partnership,
then the school that you partner with should closely reflect your
deepest beliefs. After all, the older your child gets the more time
he or she spends away from you and in the school setting. Shouldn't
that school reflect your deepest beliefs as it loves, admonishes,
and disciplines your child in your place? We believe it should.
We believe that a Christian education has many different facets.
At WCS there are two facets that drive who we are: first, we believe
in providing your child an education that is rooted in Christ, that
produces critical thinkers, and that prepares them for college and
the world. Secondly, we believe in a work ethic. We will therefore
expect much from your child, but never in a universal way. We believe
each child has an individual zone of proximal development and that
through direct instruction they can reach heights at one time unimaginable.
This is Westminster Christian School! We hope you will take the
time to carefully examine all the material at your disposal and
prayerfully consider whether God is calling you and your family
to Westminster Christian School. Many blessings.
