WELCOME

Welcome to Willowdale Christian School in Toronto.

For over 60 years we have opened our doors to welcome students and parents and embrace the joy of learning together.

We have grown from a small group of students and their families to a vibrant Christian educational community that serves students from JK to grade 8. Our highly qualified and dedicated Christian teachers provide a quality Christ-centered education through our integrated curriculum, individualized learning expectations, age-appropriate use of technology and discipleship.

As valued members of Christian Schools International and the Edvance Christian Schools Association, we are also part of a much larger community of Christian educators.

As you navigate through the various parts of our website you will learn more about our Mission & Vision, our history and our programs.

The Weekly newsletter outlines some of the exciting things that are happening here at WCS. You may also be interested in the Parent Handbook which provides an overview of our school policies and procedures as well as the School Calendar which outlines all important dates and upcoming events.

If you have any further questions or would like to discuss enrollment, please do not hesitate to book a visit to see and experience WCS in person.

We are excited about what God is doing here at WCS and look forward to sharing that with you.
