Wayside Christian School welcomes families who are willing to support our Philosophy of Education and are committed to following the rules, policies, and regulations outlined in our student handbook.
 
As educators and staff, it is a privilege for us to work alongside parents to provide students with a Christ-centered education. Education at Wayside extends beyond the classroom and encompasses all aspects of the school experience, from the academics to the athletic fields. Our goal is to create a safe, clean, wholesome, and loving environment where students are encouraged to live out the principles and promises of God’s Word and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
 
At Wayside, we believe that a nurturing environment is key to fostering academic, physical, social, and spiritual growth in students. We are dedicated to serving God’s purposes in the lives of each student and fulfilling our mission to assist families and churches in equipping students for academic excellence, biblical decision-making, and Christ-like service.

In grades 7-12, a student interview is also factored into the decision. All discussions regarding applications are held in strict confidence. Admission decisions consider the student’s potential for success at WCS, and the parents’ desire for a Christ-centered education for their children. Parents will be notified of the admissions decision via email. Wayside Christian School reserves the right to grant admittance only to students who we believe meet the criteria outlined in our admissions policy.
