The Benefits of a Christian Education

Choosing the right school for your child is important for his or her success in the academic world and beyond. Christian schools can help you feel good about your decision for your child’s education by offering benefits that are not present in public schools. Below are some of the ways that a Christian education sets itself apart:

• Excellent Parental Involvement

Statistically, children who have parents that participate in school-related activities tend to perform better in school at any age. Because parents within the Christian school network share the same spiritual beliefs as teachers and school administrators, it is easy to build a strong bridge between school and home.

• Positive Peer Relationships

Christian education emphasizes Biblical values utilized in daily life. With this encouragement of love, kindness, and moral values, children are able to build strong friendships consisting of wholesome activities.

• Preparation for College and Working Life

As children work through a curriculum tuned to high academic standards and Christian values, they gain independence and strong ethics. These qualities will help to guide your child into adulthood with the ability to analyze situations clearly and defend his or her beliefs.

• Classroom Creativity

When children are bored, they tune out to the teacher’s lessons and do not learn effectively. To prevent this, the Christian school classroom is designed to incorporate a variety of learning tools, group activities, and artistic projects. Students are actually excited about learning this way, and they feel a better bond with their education.

If you think that a Christian education is the right choice for your child, contact Whittier Christian Schools in Whittier, California at (562) 846-1402. We offer programs from kindergarten through eighth grade to help your child get the right start in life.

Reasons to Choose Whittier Christian Schools

Selecting the right school for your child is an important decision, as early schooling will set the tone for the rest of your child’s academic life. Whittier Christian Schools are dedicated to providing a solid educational foundation focused on independent learning and strong moral values, so you can feel good about sending your child to school with us.

• An emphasis on individual academic development: From kindergarten onward, we strive to help each student develop and articulate his or her thoughts clearly in a critical thinking environment. Electronic, oral, and written communications are all incorporated into the curriculum so that students are equipped to express themselves in an ever-changing world.
• Learning in a Christ-centered environment: Biblical values are applicable to everyday situations, so we include the teachings of the Bible into the classroom so that love and respect are values held high by each student. We help to establish a Biblical worldview to enable our students to make wise moral decisions on their own.
• Co-Curricular Classes and StudentActivities:  P.E., Music, Computers and Spanish are also a part of what makes WCS the ideal place for children.  These co-curricular courses and activities such as Science Fairs, Spelling Bees, Speech Meets, and Music Festivals give students the opportunity to excel in areas other than academics.
• Family involvement: A child’s success is directly related to the learning environment available at home, so we work to create a WCS community that addresses the unique needs of each family. Parents are always welcome to communicate with teachers, administrators, and staff members so that continuous academic growth is seen in your student.
• Unique student opportunities: When students are in a classroom all day, they can become disengaged from the learning process. WCS understands this challenge and faces it head on by making one-of-a-kind field trips and exciting programs like the Wonders of Science available to students at all grade levels.

A Look at the Wonders of Science

Teaching science to children can be a challenge, because it is sometimes hard to see how amazing physical science can be. At Whittier Christian Schools, we offer unique science programs that pique student interests headed by Dr. Dean Ortner who regularly explores the Wonders of Science. 

Dr. Ortner and our 7th graders just returned from Science Camp.  You can check out the pictures on our Facebook page. Also, check out Dr. Ortner’s trip to Bolivia last summer.  Dr. Ortner was the speaker at the annual ACSI Regional Science Fair, held at BIOLA University.
