School Notes
- Woodcrest Christian School (WCS) provides a ministry of Christ-centered Academics for grades 7-12 that is evangelical, interdenominational, co-educational, and college-prepatory. The WCS faculty instructs and trains students in Godly wisdom, Christian character, responsible stewardship, and unselfish service. The core of every academic subject is founded on Jesus Christ, "in whom are all treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:3) The academic program provides a curriculum that meets or exceeds the entrance requirements of Christian colleges and universities and the University of California.
- Located on its 30- acre campus in the City of Riverside, WCS was opened in 1973 as an extension of our elementry campus, Riverside Christian Day School (K-6) which was founded in 1948. These schools form the Woodcrest Christian School System (Kdg.-12).

Great memories from this School. Very much focused on Academics and Learning, small class sizes, and knowledgeable teachers and staff. Graduated in 2012 and am very likely to put my own kids through this school one day.

The teachers love to see their students succeed. They help give a strong educational background for them to go above and beyond in their college courses. I love it here and would recommend it to anyone!

I have two children at Woodcrest Christian school. My wife and I have been truly blessed by our experience there. The teachers and staff show an unparalleled interest in the success of the students. They provide the skills needed to excel in higher education. All of this while cultivating a Christ centered growth of personal responsibility and service to others.Brent d`Arc, MD
