WHAT GRADE LEVELS ARE OFFERED AT WOOSTER CHRISTIAN?

DOES WCS USE CURRICULUM FROM CHRISTIAN PUBLISHERS?
We use a combination of Christian and secular textbooks. Extensive research has gone into the process of selecting curriculum that meets our specific criteria in the various subjects. In science, for example, we knew we needed an inquiry-based program that utilized the scientific method and taught creationism, among many other criteria, so we selected curriculum from a Christian publisher. In mathematics, we needed a highly challenging program that met all the NCTM standards, and our best choice came from a secular publisher. More information on each subject's curriculum can be found in the Academics portion of our website.
ARE STUDENTS REQUIRED TO WEAR UNIFORMS?
While neat and modest attire is required of our students, Wooster Christian School does not have a uniform.
WHAT EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ARE OFFERED AT WCS?
As part of our core curriculum for all students K-12, WCS offers a comprehensive technology program, an art education that instructs in the areas of technique, theory, criticism, and history, and an exclusive Cognitive Enhancing Music Education in which students can learn to read music and play the piano in elementary school and can participate in band and choir in middle school. Physical Education in our gymnasium lets students move and play while helping them understand the importance of caring for their bodies. Interscholastic athletics are offered, including basketball, cross county, soccer, and volleyball. Some of our various after-school activities include math club, art club, and drama. Participation in numerous ACSI competitions, like the Math Olympics, spelling bee, and Music Festival, are also available.
DOES WCS OFFER BEFORE- AND AFTER-SCHOOL CHILD CARE?
Yes. Parents can choose to utilize our Kids' Time program, which offers a fun and safe environment for their children before and after school hours. Information on fees and available times can be found on our Kids' Time page.
