About Whitinsville Christian High School
WCHS is an academically challenging high school that supports and encourages your child to stretch, explore and excel in many non-academic arenas as well. Our programs in sports, music, visual arts, drama, and our service and special interest clubs, give students many avenues to develop their whole person in a distinctively Christian way. The Student Life Directory gives you a glimpse into what is available.
WCHS is a four-year comprehensive program working closely with the home and church to prepare students for further education and work experiences. WCS offers a full academic curriculum at the high school level including Bible, business, computer science, English, history, math, science (biology, chemistry, and physics), social studies, art, music, and physical education. Honors and AP® courses are taught. Internet access is provided in the classrooms, library, computer lab, and in the Guidance Suite. Opportunities to participate in additional AP® and elective classes are available through our partnership with The VHS Collaborative. In addition to academic requirements for graduation, high school students must participate in a service program each year.
