ABOUT  FWCS

History and Mission.  First Wesleyan Christian School was established in 1971 by the First Wesleyan Church as a day care and kindergarten program that would prepare students both academically and spiritually through a Christ-honoring traditional curriculum. In the late 1970s the school began expanding into its current K-8 elementary program. FWCS aims to support and reinforce the spiritual values of the Christian home and local church. Diverse Student Body.  FWCS currently has an enrollment of some 300 students in preschool through eighth grade. The student body is comprised of some 200 families from some 40 different churches. Its staff attends 20 different churches. In admitting students, FWCS does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, or ethnic origin. Current Facilities.   Since 1988 FWCS has been housed in its own debt-free modern facilities located adjacent to the First Wesleyan Church. FWCS's campus consists of 24 classrooms, a full-sized gym, and five playgrounds.
