About

 
At Westside, our mission is to help young spirits, minds, and bodies begin to understand who God is and what His ultimate purpose for their lives might be. We do this through intentional and intimate discipleship. Westside teachers and staff treat every single student with love, respect, and attentiveness. Teenagers are capable of so much more than this world gives them credit for, and at Westside we realize the potential within every student to become a vehicle of Godly influence in the world around them now and in the future.

Intentional Discipleship


Our staff intentionally teaches through a Christian worldview lens in all academic and extra-curricular settings.
- Students learn to put their faith into action through frequent service projects.
- Westside Christian holds a weekly chapel for a time of corporate worship, reflection, and exhortation.
- Westside Christian’s Focus Group program purposely places a small group of students with an adult leader to nurture in a mentor-discipleship role.
 

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.
