Whittier Christian Schools is dedicated to excellence in Christian education developing disciplined, motivated students who are academically strong and have a personal faith in Christ and are equipped to affect the world for Him.
Our purpose is to partner with families to educate students academically, socially, and spiritually in a Christ-centered atmosphere.
