A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL PROVIDES A CARING COMMUNITY
Christian education provides a biblical foundation for your child, with spiritual and moral formation at the forefront of everything. These schools focus on developing a caring community where students, faculty and staff encourage one another in both the good and difficult seasons of life. A healthy learning environment involves authentic relationships, and education should develop character and intellect, equipping students for lives of service. Now more than ever, you need to find the caring school community your child deserves.
Weatherford Christian School offers small class sizes, caring staff and the sense of belonging that every child wants. With shared values and unity as the body of Christ, Weatherford Christian School offers the community atmosphere children need. Becoming a part of a supportive community is just the help your child is longing for.
Having peers who have similar values helps complete this nurturing environment. Students are expected to reinforce positive habits, as well as positive attitudes. This goes for teachers, too. They’re more than just lecturers; they are mentors, sometimes even friends, who truly know their students. This gives them more freedom to individually encourage, support and influence their students – demonstrating that it’s okay to try new things, and it’s cool to be smart
A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL PROVIDES A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW.
In today’s ever-changing world, different groups are trying to promote their own worldviews. Scientific theories are being taught as fact. History is being rewritten. Students in many schools are being indoctrinated with ideas from our culture that fly in the face of the Bible. There can only be one truth. You need to choose a school that teaches the truth from a Biblical perspective. You need to find a school that can pass on the truth to your child.
The aim of Christian education must be to conduct education and scholarship from a Christian perspective. When this happens, the Christian school curriculum provides time and space for students to learn how mathematics, poetry, biology, and the environment are part of God’s good creation.
At Weatherford Christian School we love the Word of God. We believe that it is the only authority for understanding the world around us. The Bible teaches us the truth about creation, God’s design for the family, and it clearly shows that Jesus is the only way to salvation. Students at our school are not only taught the truth in Bible class, but in every subject. Our teachers have a heart for discipleship and guiding children in the truth.
A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL PROVIDES SAFETY.
Your child is your greatest gift! You spend thousands of dollars on having the safest car and state of the art home security system, and you watch them carefully whenever you are out in public. Choosing a safe school where your child will spend over 8 hours a day is just as important!
Private schools have reputations for maintaining high standards for discipline and respect. Lower staff-to-student ratios allow for more effective observation and control of school grounds. The strong sense of community found in private schools also discourages dangerous behavior. In the Fraser Institute study, around 72 percent of parents surveyed with children in the private school system strongly agreed that their school was safe, which greatly improves the quality of the child’s educational experience and achievement. The safety and well-being of your child is a top priority at Weatherford Christian School. Our locked buildings and Raptor program allows us to know who is on our campus. Because we are a small school community, we can quickly detect any signs of emotional or physical distress and can provide a large variety of resources to ensure a safe environment for the student and the community at large.
In addition to physical well-being, Christian schools offer a safe emotional and spiritual environment. Bullying is not tolerated and children are nurtured in a safe, caring environment, modeled by adults. Christian schools offer a safe avenue for students to express their ideas, explore new things, and most importantly, be themselves.
CHRISTIAN SCHOOL PROVIDES THE BEST CURRICULUM.
If your child is going to be in school for over 16,000 hours from kindergarten through graduation, their educational curriculum matters! One of the great freedoms Christian schools have is the ability to choose their own curriculum. It’s important to select a school that isn’t restricted to using whatever textbooks the state or local school districts use.
A Christian school curriculum and pedagogy cannot limit student learning to a transactional enterprise where knowledge is valued for the ultimate goal of high test scores or upward mobility. Of course, Christian schools must value a strong academic program. Nurturing learning in the context of faith means that Christian schools will not only prepare students to live faithfully as 6-, 8-, and 18-year-olds; it will also prepare them to enter fields such as law, medicine, plumbing, philosophy, engineering, and landscaping.Both curriculum and pedagogy in a Christian school should foster curiosity and encourage students to delve deeper into the wonder and majesty of God’s creation.
At Weatherford Christian, we research and select the curriculum we believe is best for each subject at each grade level. And when it seems best to combine material from several different sources – including materials we create ourselves – we do that, too! We biblically integrate our curriculum while preparing our students for college and their careers. We stay apprised of trends and advances in education, yet only select the best curriculum that will continue to allow us to teach from a biblical worldview.
