We have been at FWCS for 3 yrs now and I have never regretted my decison to send my kids to school there. I always feel like they are in good hands. I also love the family feel that this smaller school has. We have yet to have a teacher that I didn't care for. One of the best parts of FW is the type of parents and children that my kids are surrounded by. We are all very involved and look out for each others children. God plays a tremendous role in our lives and I can see that in the other parents there as well.

I do not consider First Weselyn to be such a Great school! I was told my child needed to repeat K4 b/c she was not ready. I did not agree b/c she was more than ready. She scored just fine on her testing but she was a young 5. She made the deadline and still First Weselyn wanted her to repeat. I believe it is a $ thing instead of for the childs best interest. K4 cost much more than kindergarten. I let her go to kindergarten @ First Weselyn and she did not stay w the teacher very well. Not b/c she didn't get what she was doing it was the teacher did not make it fun enough for a 5yr old. They called me in to say my child would not go on to 1st grade and she would not be reading after Christmas like the rest This was only after 2wks of school they made this prediction!. All of this is going off of my child looking out of the window! So I went to visit other schools public and private. First Weselyn needs a lot of changing when it comes to kindergarten. I moved my child to another Christian School and there was a immediate difference! After 3wk she was reading w no hesitation!! What a difference a "GOOD" teacher can make!

My daughter is in the 4 year old class and we have been thrilled with this school! I moved from Los Angeles and was in a $980/month school and the quality and learning experience is comparable. Also, they offer breakfast/lunch and snacks at no extra cost, as well as early 7:30 drop off and late pick up, up to 6pm. I also feel security is better than other schools with key card only entry, cameras and entrance intercom. Add the fact that you get a loving, Christian experience just adds to the charm.

This school is wonderful. My son has attended another private school and FWCS is by far the best. I travel over an 1/2 hour to take my son to this school. The staff is wonderful. The school is very affordable and most of all my son loves this school.
