Wheaton Christian Grammar School

My husband and I both met at Wheaton Christian Grammar School. We had such a positive experience at the school that we currently have all 4 of our children attending the school. We've seen our children grow leaps and bounds spiritually and academically. The teachers have shown great care in developing godly character in our children and providing them with a solid academic education. The administration is Godly, approachable and strives for excellence in all areas. The community feels like family. We couldn't be happier with our experience at WCGS.

As a former school principal and being involved with Christian schools for many years, WCGS is one of the BEST Christian schools I've ever experienced. The administrators are friendly and approachable and get to know every student and family by name. The teachers are caring and very knowledgeable and experienced in their fields. Not only is the curriculum impressive, but the teachers also provide challenging opportunities in the classroom. Students are well prepared for high school when they graduate from WCGS. There are many opportunities for parent involvement and the school values its volunteers. WCGS has so many great programs, but the best part of this school is that they integrate a biblical worldview into every area, academics, athletics, fine arts and in their relationships. Our family is so blessed to be a part of this school!! It is worth every dollar we pay in tuition!

WCGS is a special place. I've never sensed such a warmth, a genuine care and concern for the children, or God-honoring environment in any other school. Not even close! It's an amazing place.

I am so thankful that my children are able to attend Wheaton Christian Grammar School. They are receiving a top-notch education, forming lasting relationships with their peers, and receiving love and support from their teachers. My children can't wait to go to school each day. As a parent, that means the world to me. I am confident that this school is laying a vital foundation for my children that will stick with them for the rest of their lives. There is no other school out there like WCGS!

I''ve been involved with WCGS since 1995. My wife was a 3rd grade teacher there for five years and our girls currently attend. Over these many years, I''ve been nothing but impressed with the school. Academically, it's a notch above the public schools in the area. Athletically, their teams regularly beat the local schools. Their facilities are as good (if not better) than nearly all of the public schools in the area. But in the most important areas...(school culture, peer influence, teachers and administration, and world view)...WCGS is in a class of its own. Unlike the public schools that try to indoctrinate our children in a completely secular world view, WCGS approaches education through a biblical lens. The school does an excellent job of blending scripture and biblical teaching into all subjects. The teachers and staff pray with our kids regularly, lead chapels, conduct small groups, and get to know them personally. I recognize tuition is not cheap, but how can you put a price on the future of your child? For me it's clear. I''m willing to sacrifice whatever is needed for my kids to attend WCGS and greatly increase their chances of walking into adulthood as Christ-followers.

Our experience at Wheaton Christian Grammar School, has shown us that 10,000 Reasons is more than a popular Christian song. We discovered WCGS in January 2014 as part of our search across Northern Illinois for an exceptional school for our incoming kindergartner. We interviewed several schools from Galena on the Mississippi River to downtown Chicago and WCGS was beyond compare in their commitment to growing the minds, hearts and faith of their children. From our initial meeting with Mrs. Norbeck, we were wowed by the WCGS approach to truly partnering with parents in educating children. During our search we found schools that focused on academics and schools that focused on faith; only Wheaton Christian Grammar School used a faith-based foundation to encourage children to succeed academically, personally and spiritually. We moved 160 miles for our daughter to attend WCGS and we couldn't have made a better choice. The school administrators, staff and teachers all have extended their arms to welcome us. The children at the school have all welcomed our daughter and she returns home each night, excited to return. Her relationship with our Lord has grown and she is thriving in her learning environment.

Our children have attended WCGS since Kindergarten. We love the strong academics, Biblical worldview, and sense of community at the school. The variety of extracurricular activites means there is something for every student. We''re grateful for the friendships that both we and our children have with the families of the school!

WCGS has been home to my four kids for over ten years. They have all received a fantastic education--well prepared for high school academics including honors level classes, and they have enjoyed music, drama, sports and more. The staff is highly committed and very approachable. And the new building just makes the whole experience even better. I can honestly recommend this school without reservation.
