School Notes
Western Mennonite School (WMS), grades 6-12, is dedicated to
quality education and the spiritual nurture of students. Western
was established in 1945 by the Pacific Northwest Conference of the
Mennonite Church. While its Mennonite roots still shape the school
today, it is enriched by denominational diversity along with
cultural diversity. Students come to Western's beautiful 45-acre
wooded campus from across the Willamette Valley, the Pacific
Northwest, and around the world. Western is fully accredited by the
Northwest Association of Accredited Schools and offers students the
personal attention of a small school and the opportunities of a
large school. Western's exceptional faculty and staff strive to
help students realize their potential-academically, socially, and
spiritually.

Western Mennonite aka Western Christian is an amazing school. My kiddos have attended Sonshine, Salem Academy, and Willamette Valley Christian. All have been good schools but Western is the best experience to date. The teachers truly care, the scholastic experience is 2nd to none, the campus is beautiful, and the hearts of the faculty are passionate about each child's relationship with Jesus Christ. If you are raising a critical thinker who deserves a challenging curriculum within a Christian culture, look no further. And, if sports matters to you, the good news is this does not get sacrificed here - the coaches ate phenomenally!!!
