My son attended elementary school at Tommy's Road and the enrolled at Wayne Christian School to begin middle school and has been there from 6th grade and is currently in the 10th grade. The school is very family oriented and offers at A+ quality education. Teachers are very friendly and willing to make sure your child has what's needed for the next level of education. Because I wanted my son to have a Christian education, I couldn't be more pleased with what they have to offer. Sports are also a big plus. They offer 11 sports. I give Wayne Christian School and its staff and A+. Thank you.

This school is so special. I attended here for my entire school career and now have the privilege of sending my own children. Their heart for the Lord, love for the children and devotion to the family unit mirrors the beliefs that my husband and I hold dear. I am blessed to continue to be part of the Wayne Christian family.
