Growing minds and building character
Students are challenged to grow, by providing the tools needed for them to achieve their learning goals. As a staff, we model learning and growing to inspire them to create this as a lifelong habit.
Habits that West Hills students aim to possess
Applying biblical principles to knowledge and academics
Taking ownership with self-advocacy and follow-through
Using curiosity, creativity, and higher level thinking to problem solve
Determining to persevere through hard things
Working together toward a common goal
Striving for quality, not perfection
Being honest in all things
“Every child that comes here is known: known by their teachers, by the staff, and by the Enrichment faculty. They don’t just get lost in the crowd.”
“I just love how the school fosters these kids’ imaginations, and I love how my kindergartner’s curiosity is being fed.”
“West Hills has smaller class sizes compared to the public school in our neighborhood. That was important to us to ensure the teachers have enough quality teaching time with each student.”
West Hills Christian School’s K-5th elementary school program offers students a strong foundation of daily core subjects, regular Enrichment classes, and weekly chapel. Small and intentional class sizes allow teachers the opportunity to build for differential learning groups, styles, and classroom collaboration that challenge students to apply their learning. We teach to the whole child, focusing not only on academics but also fostering the character and spiritual growth of each child. The elementary school program strives to establish a robust curriculum, strong parent/teacher relationships, and best practices in all areas.
West Hills Christian School’s middle school program builds on the concepts and skill sets learned in elementary school and then seeks to deepen and widen students’ critical thinking and perspective. Students are instructed by supportive teachers who sharpen their minds, guide them as they shape their identities, and grow their relationships with God and one another. The middle school years mark a transition where we observe students becoming more self-directed learners, taking on greater responsibility, and embracing more of a leadership role.
If there is an area where West Hills really comes alive, it’s in our Enrichment classes. Students learn from faculty who are passionate in their disciplines, and their passion is contagious. Whether it’s a kindergartner in STEM Lab trying out his or her first coding platform, a 4th grader discovering a new favorite literature genre in Library class, or an 8th grader learning different painting techniques, these special classes open up new worlds to our students and awaken areas of interest that may well become passions of their own.
