My son loves going to school! The teachers and staff are caring and truly care about him as a person. We are so thankful to be here!

My daughter enjoys going to school every day. The staff and teachers make this school so welcoming and my daughter enjoys to learn from them. She’s genuinely excited every day to tell me what she learned in school that day. The community of other families raising their kids centered around Christ is so important and I’m so glad to be apart of this community.

Our four children attend WCS, and we have been here for eight years so far. We absolutely love it, our children love it, and we love our WCS community that feels like family to us. We especially appreciate how they incorporate Jesus into every subject, and how the teachers and staff pour into our children 100%.

Westminster "Christian" School is the reason why I'm no longer a Christian. I was a student there at one time; started there in fourth grade and ended graduating. I started there a conservative, devout Christian and left a liberal, devout non-Christian. They incorporate conservative views (including the promotion of homophobia, sexism, and anti-non-Christian views). You were basically taught not to think for yourself, and that the Bible was the one and only true authority over everything else, and any other kind of authority or word other than from the Bible was looked down upon. On a positive note, the workload did prepare me very well for college, and I am very thankful for that. Overall, I would not recommend coming here if you want to be able to openly think for yourself, and if you do not want religion being shoved down your throat.

We were looking for a Christian high school for our two children with a strong science and math program. At Westminster, they have absolutely thrived. Attending a smaller school allowed them to participate in many different activities, develop enduring friendships, and receive personalized attention from the incredibly dedicated 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.

We enrolled our 3 year old at Westminster with the intention of just staying for Preschool, but 7 years later, she is now in 4th grade with 2 younger elementary grade siblings. WCS is more than a school to our family, it is truly a community who deeply cares for the hearts of our children and models Christ-like character for this young generation. Raising future leaders!

We have three children attending WCS, our kids adore their teachers. The teachers work with students as individuals not as clones. Everyone in the building is supportive, loving and approachable. They are Christ focused and as a follower of Christ that is important to me. I know that many children come from broken homes and that a lot of the parents who are non-believers resent the Christian focus of the school. So if you read a negative review I would keep that in mind. We know WCS isn't perfect but also know the teachers and administrators in the building love the kids, are talented and love Jesus Christ. I pray that God continues to bless WCS and our family through them.

We currently have two students at Westminster and soon a third. This is our 2nd year at the school and we could not be happier. The teachers and faculty have created a safe learning environment when they care for our children and help them grow spiritually and academically. I highly recommend the school and it has been worth every penny.

This is an awful school. Religious agenda is first and academics is second. The teachers set up a barrier to the administration and parents, and hold all the power. If your kid doesn't fall in line with what they want him/her to say and think, then they'll make their school life miserable. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE
