What we Believe

Chicago West Side Christian School’s mission is to engage students in dynamic, Christian education that challenges students to develop academically, spiritually, socially, culturally and creatively so they are equipped to lead and serve as Christians in society.

The Bible is God's Word and helps us to understand God and His great love. It guides us in our relationships with each other and in our calling as we follow God.

Grace permeates CWSCS. Students learn from mistakes, are encouraged to offer and receive forgiveness and are given opportunities to try again.

Students are uniquely made by God and are worthy of great respect as His children. Teachers shape their instruction based on students' interests, gifts and learning styles, so all children's academic, spiritual and social needs are met.

Curriculum is designed to encourage students to develop a life-long love of learning. Students learn to recognize and appreciate God's hand in all they study.

Community is highly valued. Students, staff and parents work together to create an environment where people experience a sense of belonging and purpose as they work together.
