Character and Leadership Development
Westside Christian emphasizes leadership development, providing multiple opportunities to learn and apply these skills both inside and outside the school community. - Westside Christian students are strongly encouraged to participate in one group or team extracurricular activity each year. This student participation helps promote community, allows students to try something new, develop their character, and creates an opportunity to form new friendships among their peers. - Students develop a heart of compassion as they serve in their community. - Students participate in a multi-year program that helps them discover their passions and gifts, culminating in a personal service-learning project in Bible class during their senior year.
