Open Quote Our children have strong aptitudes in science and math, and we were looking for a Christian high school with strong STEM program. At Westminster, they have thrived academically, socially and spiritually. Attending a smaller school allowed them to participate in many different activities, develop strong relationships, and receive personalized attention from the incredible teachers. Both have especially enjoyed the Science Olympiad program, and the opportunity to compete at the state level. Bottom line: great faculty, great programs, great values, and a great school.

Open Quote We began our journey at Westminster Christian School when our oldest started 3 Year Preschool, with the intention of staying for just the 2 Preschool years....
7 years later, with 3 children now in Elementary grades at WCS, we have never looked back. Westminster is not only a place that provides excellent education to our children, but it is a faith community that partners with families to raise true disciples. I can confidently say that our children are blessed by teachers who genuinely love our children like their own. Close Quote

Open Quote We have three children at WCS. Our experience has been incredible. All of their teachers have shown a care and compassion for our children that is moving. The school's commitment to academic excellence has only been enhanced by its current Head of School Steve Hall. This school is a bright rising star in K-12 Christian academia. We are thankful for being part of the WCS community and pray for God's continued blessing on the school and the community at large. Close Quote

Open Quote This is our second year at Westminster and we could not be happier. Our children have grown spiritually, academically and socially. The teachers have shown remarkable care for our children and have always been accessible to us as parents. I am excited to continue on our journey with Westminster as they continue to improve the facilities and programs. Worth every penny we spend on tuition. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
