 WCS offers a Three-Dimensional Program of education for
its students. It consists of a Spiritual Development
Program, an Academic Development
Program, and a Student Activity
Program. Each one of these three dimensions receives equal attention
in application, as explained in the following articles. Students
receive instruction through varied experiences and utilize planned
and proven methods to elevate them to a greater level of education
- spiritually, formally, and practically.
