Cultivating Godly Influencers for over 75 years
Our Vision
Wilmington Christian School provides a distinctively Christian, innovative education that effectively develops Godly influencers who are well prepared for life after high school and who impact the culture for Christ.
Our Mission
Building on the foundation of Scriptural truth, we teach students to grow in Christian character, to excel in academic proficiency, and to foster mentoring relationships.
Core Values
Biblical Worldview - We believe that to flourish as humans made in the image of God, individuals must perceive and interact with all of His creation through the lens of Scripture. Doing so reflects a commitment to the Lordship of Christ and demonstrates the nature, character, and works of God to the community and to the world.
Exemplary Academics - We are committed to providing the highest quality academic program available, in which students’ God-given design is matched with exceptional learning experiences in and out of the classroom. Great teaching which maximizes learning includes: engaging lessons, challenging courses, intentional mentoring, and a highly individualized approach to learning which honors each student’s unique gifts and potential.
Cultural Influence - We want our students to become Godly influencers, having a positive and restorative impact on the culture. We believe that the foundational elements for creating and cultivating this kind of influence are Christ-like character, vocational proficiency, and the ability to develop meaningful relationships with others.
Grace-based Community - We believe a Christian school community must be marked by honest, engaging relationships and a clear understanding of mutual commitments and responsibilities. In situations when an individual fails to live, learn, and serve in alignment with community values and expectations, we extend grace with love, which means to provide: significant support for success; appropriate discipline and accountability; and a merciful posture towards one another.
