School Notes
- School Motto: Developing within each child the character of Christ in a challenging educational environment based on a Biblical worldview.
- At WCS you will find an environment that encourages a love for learning and the development of Christian character. Our staff members are dedicated Christians who share the love of Christ with the students throughout their school experience with Biblically centered curriculum. The training to be like Christ is evident from gathering time in the morning, continuing through regular classes, recess, lunch, Art, Music, Physical Education, Spanish, and as the children leave for the day. Watertown Christian School equips students to live in the world, yet not be of the world.
