Academics
| Western Christian High School provides an atmosphere and educational structure that fosters academic training, stimulates academic curiosity and critical thinking, and develops a love and appreciation for knowledge and understanding. The University of California educational system has continuously ranked Western Christian High School in the top 5% of all high schools in student preparation and readiness for college confirming that nearly 95% of Western Christian graduates are accepted into colleges and universities. Western Christian High School offers a variety of Honors and Advanced Placement courses, allowing students the opportunity to receive college credits while taking high school classes. With its 20:1 student to teacher ratio and its average class size at only 20 students, Western Christian High School continues to strive for excellence and produce well-rounded graduates who are ready and willing to make a difference in the world.Goal It is our goal each year at Western Christian to have every member of the senior class enrolled in college upon graduation. For the past eight years we have had great success. Each year the number of students enrolled in four-year colleges and universities has increased. This year we anticipate 65% enrollment in four-year colleges and 35% in two-year colleges. Objectives of the College Program
We meet these objectives through:

"If it wasn’t for Western, I don’t know where I’d be – but now, I have a future. I was overwhelmed by the love and compassion that I felt from the kids at school and all the teachers. They loved me unconditionally. I was surrounded by people that helped support me, not just academically, but spiritually and emotionally. Teachers took the time to listen to my problems – they were always available and I knew they really cared about me. I had never felt this way before. Because of Western, I now plan to go to college and major in communications, perhaps specializing in sports broadcasting."
