Preschool/Elementary

Westminster Christian Elementary School is an exciting place for children to grow spiritually, academically, physically and emotionally. Our school emphasizes the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and it is through exploring and discovering the world He created that reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies come alive.

Our teachers will challenge your child to use their creativity, knowledge, skills and technology-based media to demonstrate a mastery of standards. This is accomplished in a safe, nurturing environment where students are allowed to apply their learning around rigorous and relevant activities presented through a Christian worldview.

At WCS, you will find a qualified team ready to help your child in these critical, formative years to achieve their full potential. Students look forward to coming to school every day because their teachers show them how much they are loved and valued. The culture of care is unlike any other school.

  • Students Use Minecraft to Build Virtual Solutions to Real-Life Problems

    Elementary Enrichment teachers Mrs. Pastrana and Mrs. Castellanos implemented Minecraft in Education so students could design and build solutions to real-life problems as part of their Project Lead the Way Curriculum (PLTW).  In a Minecraft world, third grade students created bee gardens to help increase the bee population in the United States.  The students built their solution, took pictures, and created books incorporating the science learned.  

    Using Minecraft as a tool in the classroom was an innovative way for the teachers to allow the students to advance in the curriculum, while being mindful of the health and safety restrictions that have been put in place since COVID.  

    Best of all, students are learning and are enjoying sharing their worlds with others!
