Why Christian Education?
West Side Christian School exists to provide a quality, Christ-centered education that teaches children about every aspect of God’s creation from a Reformed Christian perspective in a distinctly Christian environment, preparing them spiritually and academically to live as Christ’s servants.
WSCS History
Beginning in the 1880s, saplings named Crosby, Rehoboth, Alpine, and Pine were planted with the conviction that a sturdy tree would grow from these humble beginnings. One and two room Christian schools were opened on Crosby Street and Alpine Avenue by Dutch settlers on the west side of Grand Rapids. These settlers desired that the schools their children attended endorse the faith values of both their homes and churches. “Train up a child in the way he should go (Proverbs 22:6)” has been the guiding principle ever since.
From these humble beginnings, a vigorous tree has grown and flourished. For nearly 140 years, the tree has spread its branches and now embraces children of many ages, races, cultural backgrounds, and Christian faith communities.
