BACKGROUND
Wilmington Christian School (WCS) is a college preparatory school serving 462 students in Pre-K through 12th grade. Since
its founding in 1946, WCS has been firmly rooted in the principles of Biblical Christianity. Our parents come from over 100

and NJ) entrusting their children’s educational future to WCS. We are located in Hockessin on a beautiful 15 acre campus;
11 miles from Wilmington, DE; 8 miles from Newark, DE; and only 4 miles from the Pennsylvania border. WCS is a board
operated corporation, with oversight provided by a self-perpetuating, appointed Board of Trustees.
MISSION
Wilmington Christian School provides a Christ-centered, challenging academic program with instruction based on the
Biblical view of God and the world. WCS teaches, influences, and encourages each student to effectively integrate
Biblical truth into his/her daily life and to impact the culture for Christ.
