Leadership and influence of faculty and staffat wchs, we recognize that the key to equipping the minds and spirits of our students lies in their regular engagement with teachers and staff members who authentically live out their faith in christ on a daily basis.we allocate resources to attract and develop staff who are deeply committed to the mission of wchs. Each member of our team is not only a person of character, devoted to loving god and seeking the best for our students, but also possesses expertise in their chosen field and the ability to communicate creatively and effectively both inside and outside the classroom. The results of our investment are evident in our student body, which is increasingly growing in their faith and taking ownership of their beliefs. They also demonstrate excellence and achievement across various academic areas. As a 1:1 High School, with each student utilizing an ipad and faculty leveraging technology creatively and effectively in the classroom, we embrace innovation to enhance learning experiences.despite our School's diversity in many areas, 99% of our graduates attend a college or university. Furthermore, graduates of our alpha honors program often enter colleges as sophomores due to the advanced classes taken and credits achieved. Our broad range of course offerings, meaningful weekly chapel sessions attended by all students, and opportunities for student service collectively prepare graduates for the challenges they will encounter and empower them to bring glory to god in their endeavors to impact the world.
Financial aidour goal at wchs is not only to sustain but also to build upon our institution, maintaining a generous spirit and ensuring that the doors of opportunity remain wide open for all students through financial aid. We understand that financial constraints can often be a barrier to enrollment. To address this challenge, we have established a formal financial aid program aimed primarily at assisting families based on their demonstrated need.each family interested in financial aid submits their financial information which is reviewed by a financial aid committee. Recommendations and decisions are made and awards are granted to eligible families.wchs provides financial aid assistance to 50% of the student body, allowing hundreds of students to embark on their transformative journey at wchs.thanks to the generosity of our donors and the commitment of our parents to fulfill their financial obligations, wchs has been able to positively impact the lives of students who otherwise may not have had the means to enroll.
