Academics

What will Your Children Learn?

From learning about the Lord, through traditional academic subjects, to visual and performance arts, we teach the whole student.

 

 

Daily Focus on the Lord

We begin each day with worship or a chapel service. On certain days, all classes have worship in their homerooms; other days the classes will gather in the sanctuary for group chapel. Beginning each day focusing on the Lord and His Word supports all of what we do here.

Summary of Our Beliefs
All academic subjects are covered at every grade.

Since reading is so foundational, WNCS uses the Fountas & Pinnell leveling system along with reading instruction to help all of our students master this most important skill.

Science & Math
Full Curriculum

In addition to academic subjects, we also include studies in religion, performance and visual arts, music, computer literacy and physical education.

The Arts
Small Class Sizes

We provide small multi-grade homerooms where each child is known and supported in his or her individual strengths and interests.

Small Classes
Testing at WNCS

Unlike many schools, we do not give frequent standardized tests and do not teach to the tests. To ensure that our students are progressing at or above the national standard, we use the IOWA Test of Basic skills each year.
