I am a parent of two high school students both of which have been at WCS since Kindergarden.

My only concern would have to be that for some teenagers attending the high school, the Bible courses and chapel services could push a teenager away who is struggling with rebellion and who is questiong God , alienating them further from pursuing a life of faith. WCS is a great school academically, but it ended up pushing me further away from The Lord (due to some overly zealous teachers) until several years later down the road. Read less
