Academics

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.
