“The staff really cares about the children, on a spiritual level as well as academic level.  My children feel very loved at WCS.  The academics are great too.”

“The school is very academic but the main reason that we have our child attend is because of the focus on the whole child and the whole family.  The basis on bible teachings and the focus on showing love and support to the children is huge to us.  We also appreciate the fact that so many parents are involved in their child’s education.”

“The teachers genuinely care about the kids, the education they are receiving is top notch, and the Christian influence is wonderful!”

“WCSS (now WCDS) is like a family to us, everyone is very welcoming to everyone who attends there.  What they have to teach to the kids about God is outstanding, the things they learn from the excellent teachers stay with the kids throughout their lives and they continue to grow in God’s world as they go to Woodcrest Christian School.”

“After attending four other schools I came to Woodcrest as a young boy who had a yearning to know Christ through a personal relationship with Him.  As I entered my second year in the school system Christ began to become more evident in my life.  Through all of the amazing Christian teachers and friends, surely sent by God, who acted as guides to help me along the path set before me by the Lord and who stood by my side and bared with me in my trials, my relationship with Christ flourished.  Each day I got into God’s Word during Bible class and drew closer to Him in Spirit and in understanding.  The scholastic system pushed me to strive to be my very best and benefited me in putting more and more faith in Christ.  For all the academic and spiritual knowledge gained in only four years at Woodcrest, I certainly will recommend this school to anyone I know.”
