Wyldewood Christian School Ministry Overview
Wyldewood Christian School is an integral part of our overall church ministry. It was established in 1975 for the benefit of those parents who desire full-time Christian training for their children. We offer training for children enrolled in kindergarten through high school, utilizing the School of Tomorrow curriculum. Our entire curriculum is Bible-based, with Scriptural principles woven into quality academics to provide a Christ-centered program. Our school is a member of the Wisconsin Association of Christian Schools and the host of the state wide Wisconsin A.C.E. Student Convention.
In addition to the academics, our students enjoy classes in music, art, Bible and physical education. There are opportunities for children in elementary and high school to develop skills in a wide range of fields through our school plays and athletic program. Our students also participate in speech, music, and fine arts competition. We enjoy the support and participation of many of the student's parents as volunteers for the various activities at Wyldewood Christian School.
