Motto: "Developing Champions Who Raise the Standard in Academics, Character, and Values" ~ Elizabeth Fisher, Administrator.
Walnut Grove Christian School (WGCS), founded in 2001, provides a Christ-centered, accredited education with small class sizes (13 in Elementary, 15 in Middle and High School) and a focus on strong academics, faith, and meaningful relationships.
Our K-12 curriculum includes Honors and College Preparatory courses, plus a robust Music and Drama program for K-8.
We offer a four-day school week, encouraging students to grow academically, spiritually, and relationally while allowing families time for passions and activities on Fridays.
WGCS is accredited by the South Carolina Association of Christian Schools and the National Council for Private Schools Accreditation.
