+ The Spiritual Dimension...
Westbury Christian School is a special place for those parents who take biblical instruction seriously in the raising of their children. It is a special place for students who are interested in spiritual training. WCS is also a special place for those families and students who have not pursued the Christian walk, but who respect it and see the importance of it in their lives.
One objective of WCS is to glorify Jesus Christ through the teaching of His gospel. Every administrator and faculty member is a committed Christian. The learning experience at WCS is enhanced with an environment dictated by Christian principals. Bible is taught every day and chapel is an integral part of school life. All academic classes, social and athletic activities, as well as spontaneous events, are conducted with Christian perspectives in mind.
+ The Academic Dimension...
An accredited academic program consists of quality teachers, a challenging curriculum, and in-depth study resources. Our students learn from teachers who demand and expect the best. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) scrutinize the quality of the curriculum before issuing accreditation. The WCS library has over 15,000 volumes, CD-ROM discs, plus Internet access for inexhaustible resources. A concerned and well-informed staff in the Guidance Center services WCS students.
Departmental "core" academic offerings comply with the Texas Education Association requirements, as well as the standards of SACS. The curriculum also includes electives that meet student needs and interests. The WCS curriculum offers a two-track program: regular and advance. SAT scores compete favorably with the best Christian Schools across America. Our graduates attend many prestigious universities and colleges.
+ The Student Activities Dimension...
The Student Activity Dimension at WCS is an integral part of the educational process. This dimension is the perfect complement to the classroom, not because students learn how to become more proficient in sports, drama or music, but because they learn how to become productive people in an interdependent society. Valuable lessons in applied Christian ethics, morals and values are learned in activities outside the classroom. Under the leadership of Christian mentors, students gain a personal awareness of honesty and integrity with themselves and others.
Student activities are offered to all middle and high school students. These activities include sports, band, choral music, drama, debate, and service clubs, to name a few. Successful participation in one or more activities each school year is a requirement for high school students for graduation. An additional requirement for graduation is the completion of 10 hours of community service each semester.
WCS has outstanding facilities for student activities. The Fine Art Center, gymnasium complex, and stage facility are among the finest for secondary schools.
WCS is a member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS). Classified 4-A, the Wildcats compete in athletics with private and public schools across the state.
