"I attended Western Christian High School in the mid 60's. I can specifically point to the education I received there as a pivotal point in my life. The nurturing experience (academically, athletically and spiritually) changed my life and contributed to my success. To this day, I look back with a fondness for Western Christian, its faculty and what it stands for. In this time of "diminished education" from public schools, I believe it develops students more academically and personally."

The best way to learn about Western is to experience it first-hand. Those who visit the campus leave excited about the students and environment that make Western Christian stand out amongst all other schools. This is a place where people are valued, respected, and loved not only by the faculty and administration, but by the students themselves. There is something very special at Western Christian that brings out the best in every student providing dynamic experiences, collegiate opportunities, and lifelong friendships.
There are two ways in which you and your family can visit the school any day and at your convenience:
Tours - Have a student or administrator take you around campus showing classrooms and answering all your questions. Tours generally last approximately 30 min, but can be as short or as long as you'd prefer.
Shadow Days - Prospective students have the opportunity to spend a day (or any portion thereof) shadowing (following) a Western Christian student around campus from class to class. This is a great way to test drive the Western Christian community while experiencing the social, spiritual, and academic uniqueness of the school.
Either of these options are available to you at your convenience. If you are interested, you can fill out the form here and leave a "note" that you would like to schedule a tour or shadow day, or you can simply call our front offices. We look forward to seeing you here.
