    Wilmington Christian School Reviews

    While I was at WCS I learned the joy in helping others. I saw how I could serve others and bless them. There were struggles that I could help with, the problem though was the fact that no one wanted to point out these struggles. Everyone knew they were there, or at least those who invested any time into school. Problems like peer pressure and indifference among everyone that caused so much unnecessary anxiety. For example, this is a Christian school where Christians go to learn a Christian perspective on subjects and the world and yet some people felt they shouldn't need to hear about Christ. WCS was a great school and it has some teachers who truly put so much care into their work. Every school has issues and WCS isn't an exception, but there's no doubt they invest in influencing in the future of their students.

    Since 1946, Wilmington Christian School has educated students with a biblical worldview that acknowledges God as both creator and sustainer of the universe. We do this in a challenging academic environment that has earned a reputation for distinction and achievement – in scholastics, athletics, the arts, and community service.
    It is a tiny school, but that means the relationships are closer than most schools. Also, the high school and middle school tend to get blended in the hallways, so you don't just interact with people in your own grade. The teachers are incredible and they connect to the students on a personal level very well.
