Academics

Whitinsville Christian School is dedicated to the glory of God and recognizes the authority of the Scriptures as interpreted by the confessional standards of the Reformed faith. We are committed to academic excellence, which we believe is only possible from a God-centered world view. Our teachers are qualified professionals devoted to preparing students for service to God and their neighbors in every area of life.  The goal of education here at WCS is to help students achieve life's purpose: to know and serve God. 

Whitinsville Christian School is a member of Christian Schools International and is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.  Following a recent visit to WCS, members of the NEASC accreditation committee reported that they were "energized to be surrounded by a school community dedicated to genuine values," and "saw evidence of the love, faith and respect that are so much a part of WCS in every face, every program and every classroom."

Middle School - Grades 6-8

Many of our middle school students rank between the 80th and 90th percentiles in the IOWA tests given each year. A number of our students in grades 7 and 8 are also eligible to take early SATs and in so doing earn scores equal to or above those of college-bound seniors. We offer a strong and exciting core curriculum that includes: Bible, English, Math,
Science, and Social Studies. The content of these courses are presented in a variety of ways so various leaning styles of students are met. Whenever possible, hands-on activities are used to teach or supplement what is being taught. Besides these core subjects, required encore classes include Art, Keyboarding (typing), Physical education, and Spanish. In addition, some encore classes can be selected; these include Choir, Band, Orchestra, Drama, Music Theory, and Storytelling. All encore classes are taught during the school day.
