The Woolet Family

Why did you choose WCS for your children?

We wanted a Christian education for our children and wanted to know the teachers were believers and would assist in raising our kids with a solid foundation on faith in God.

What has been your favorite part of your experience at WCS?

We enjoy the close nit community (this place is really like family to us) and the athletics which includes youth sports.

What would you share with other parents who are considering Christian education?

If you want to know your children’s teachers and be confident that they have strong spiritual roots and will train them according to biblical principles while teaching them the core subjects, this is a great place to send your children.

Why did you choose WCS for your children?

We chose WCS because it offers the things we feel are important to our boys, our beliefs, and our values.

What has been your favorite part of your experience at WCS?

There are so many things that we have loved about this school and it is so hard to pick one. Every single staff member I have talked to has been kind, caring, knowledgeable, organized, and they give off the feeling that they truly love their jobs. 

What would you share with other parents who are considering Christian education?

Choose WCS because they create such a welcoming atmosphere, incorporate the Bible in their daily lessons, have small class sizes, and give students the attention and help they need to succeed. We have no doubt that this school will have a positive lifelong impact on the boys relationship with God and their successes in the future. 

The Johnson Family

Why did you choose WCS for your children?

Scott and I knew as soon as we were pregnant with our first son, Maddox, that we wanted him to attend a private school, and Wayne Christian was at the top of our list.  Even with the addition of three more children throughout the years , we knew we had to give them the same educational opportunity.

What has been your favorite part of your experience at WCS?

When our kids head to school each morning we never worry about their safety which is a big relief as a parent.  I know that every step has been taken to install the safest facility.  We love the smaller classes that Wayne Christian offers and the caring teachers.  We love that our kids can still be involved in sports without giving up their Christian education.  Wayne Christian honestly feels like one big family and it feels great to be part of that.

What would you share with other parents who are considering Christian education?

Wayne Christian was the easiest decision we have made as parents. There are lots of hard decisions you have to make in life but picking Wayne Christian for our children to attend was by far one of the easiest decisions we have made.  We are blessed to be able to let our kids attend here each year.

Opportunity Scholarship Changes

The NC Opportunity Scholarship has made some changes to eligibility levels that some of our families might benefit from. Please see the information below from the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA) concerning these changes.

Dear K12 Nonpublic Schools:

The 2020 COVID-19 Recovery Act changes certain eligibility requirements for the Opportunity Scholarship Program. This legislation was passed by the North Carolina General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Roy Cooper on September 4, 2020. We posted this information online for Opportunity Scholarship families on September 11. The Opportunity Scholarship website has a banner alerting everyone to the changes, and to the information posted.

We wanted to make you aware.

The Opportunity Scholarship and NPS email volume as school starts was already high. We hope for your patience as we answer family questions and assist you regarding certification, endorsement, and disbursement, with our small team.

The Income Eligibility guidelines (effective for spring 2021) are updated. Key information for you to pass along: families of students previously ineligible due to income who may now be eligible do not need to apply again. Further, anyone who has not applied may still do so. The application remains open through December 31, 2020. Applications submitted from 9/1/2020 through 12/31/2020 are considered for spring semester 2021 awards, assuming funding permits. See the document linked above for more information.

Youth Sports Registration

Registration for youth soccer is now open! The WCS youth sports league is not limited to WCS students. Feel free to pass this information along to anybody you know who might be interested in signing their children up to play soccer this fall. Questions about youth sports may be directed to Travis Stigge at tastigee@gmail.com. Register for soccer at https://tshq.bluesombrero.com/waynechristian.

Library Card Sign-up

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month, and Wayne County Public Library has offered to partner with Wayne Christian School to make it easy for students to obtain library cards for the public library. WCPL has locations in Goldsboro, Pikeville, Fremont, and Mount Olive, and all of their resources are free for card holders to use. The public library has provided a form that will cover the parental consent they need without the parent needing to go in person to the library. The form can be downloaded here , or students should see their English teacher or Mrs. Deck in the library for a form. Submit before September 25th, then Mrs. Deck will get the forms to the public library and distribute library cards once they are ready. A public library card will allow students to reserve library materials through the WCPL website and pick them up at the most convenient branch, as well as obtain electronic resources through the library. To get an idea of resources available through the Wayne County Public Library, see their website at www.wcpl.org.

Youth Sports Update

We’ve been receiving lots of questions about updates on youth sports. Our teams typically participate in leagues with the Goldsboro Parks and Rec department. However, we found out last week that neither the Parks and Rec Department, nor the Family Y, are having sports leagues this fall. Mr. Pugh, assistant athletic director, and Mr. Stigge, youth sports director, are working to figure out how we can run our own league. We will continue to keep you updated as we have more information about how fall youth sports will look this year.
