WGCS has been a great place for my children to grow and learn. The new administration has really stepped the school up, and I am extremely pleased with the direction the school is going. I am glad that my children are receiving Bible instruction every day. If you are not comfortable with your child learning the Bible and being taught that Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life", then WGCS won't be for you.

I am a friend and a relative to students of West Gate Christian Prep School and also of parents who have enrolled their children in WGCPS. I am thankful that I can say these ones who have been effected in any way by this school, have been effected for the better! The teachers hold their children to a very high standard and the respect they ask for at school is often repeated at home/public. The students who've attended for any period of time look, act, and ARE sharp young people as a result of the parents, teachers, and leadership of West Gate Baptist Church. Christian education is an excellent choice, but West Gate Christian Prep School is THE choice if you want your child to learn and be loved. Thanks West Gate Christian Prep School and members for your testimony to an outsider looking in!

My daughter will graduate this year from West Gate Christian School and has been there since K-4, we also have a son there that is now in 5th grade. My husband and I have been very pleased with the school and how caring the staff are to all the children. Academically they have done really well and for that we are grateful to the school. West Gate Christian School is the way to go academically and morally.

West Gate Christian Preparatory School is a wonderful school. My student has attended West Gate for 9 years, since K-5, and plans to be a graduate of WGCPS. West Gate is a superb school, providing Christian based accredited academics. The professional Christian faculty and staff are dedicated to providing the highest quality Christian education and leadership to the students in academics, fine arts, sports and spiritual growth. West Gate s nurturing environment continues to enable my student to strive and perform well in academics, to care for others and to grow spiritually. I highly recommend sending your students to West Gate Christian Preparatory School.

I have a child that is in her third year at West Gate Christian Preparatory School. I have two children that have spent a combined 26 years and have graduated from Christian schools. I say this to demonstrate that I have extensive experience in Christian education. My wife is also a Teacher in a Christian school (unfortunately a different school) . The teachers at West Gate have demonstrated great sacrifice to provide our children with excellent academic and doctrinal instruction. The Bible tells us to bring up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). This is why I have chosen to send my child to West Gate. A previous reviewer mentioned that 'thinking outside the box' was discouraged. I suspect that this is a reference to opinions that are contrary to the word of God and for this I am grateful.

Being part of West Gate has been a great blessing for my 4 kids. Academics are excellent. Our kids excel in every subject. We feel that they are getting well prepared for college. The spiritual teaching is outstanding. Their discipline and doctrine has helped keep our kids grounded in the truth of the Word of God. Bringing them to West Gate has been one of our best decisions.

The academics at West Gate are outstanding. The school scores very high on standardized tests. The teachers are well qualified, professional and caring. The atmosphere is protective and positive. If you are opposed to good rules designed to protect students from bad influences and from their own wrong desires, this school is not for you. Character development is just as important as academic success at West Gate. The principal is top notch. I highly recommend West Gate Christian School to those committed to a high quality Christian education.
