Spiritual Dimension

Chapel assemblies, devotionals, class prayers and daily Bible classes are the standard at WCS. Students learn biblical teachings and Christian principles. Teachers encourage students to develop Christian leadership skills for use in their homes, communities and churches.

High school students participate in chapel every Tuesday and Thursday. On Tuesdays, all high school students meet together for devotional time that may include scripture reading, singing, prayer, and an inspirational talk. On Thursdays, students meet in small chapel groups with a faculty mentor to discuss key biblical principles more critically and consider how to apply them in daily life.
