“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”  -Luke 2:52

LEARN. LOVE. SERVE

For 50 years Wayside Christian School has been able to provide a community of learning for both the academic and spiritual development of each young person.
We invite you to come and experience Wayside for yourself.

About Us

Wayside Christian School is situated in Bucyrus, Ohio and has been serving families since 1973 by offering a high-quality, faith-based education. Our school has been a source of enrichment for hundreds of families and our students have come from over 35 local churches, including Wayside Chapel, our home church.
 
At Wayside, we strive to help every student reach their full potential. Our small class sizes, disciplined environment, and dedicated faculty contribute to our students’ success. Our teachers view their role as a ministry, where they can serve the Lord and demonstrate the joy and fulfillment that comes from living a life in Christ.

Core Values

At WCS, we are committed to providing our students with high-quality academics that stimulate learning and push them to think critically. We strive to ensure that our students have meaningful experiences that provide them with the skills and knowledge to be successful in the future.

Our academic curriculum is founded upon the principles and values of Scripture, recognizing it as the ultimate source of truth. We use the teachings and doctrines of Scripture to help form our students’ values, beliefs, and understanding of the world.

We strongly encourage all our students to reach their fullest potential by exposing themselves to a wide range of disciplines, including speech, drama, music, technology, and athletics. Doing so will enable them to develop diverse skills and enrich their learning experience.

We aim to identify and cultivate each student’s unique gifts, allowing them to flourish and fulfill the plan that God has for their lives.

At Wayside Christian School, the entire faculty and staff is unwavering in their commitment to serving each student with a heart of humility and compassion, recognizing that each one is a precious creation of God.

We desire for every student to pursue a genuine and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ, and then to live a life wholly dedicated to serving Him and loving others.

The electrical and plumbing has started this week. Windows went in last week. Pretty soon the doors will go in. The roof is almost done. We are grateful for all the workers that have blessed us with their skills. We are ahead of schedule on the construction. Please pray with us for God to use this building as a place of growth for the kingdom of Christ. See MoreSee Less

Check out part 2 of our video walkthrough series on the new building project! In this video, we highlight some of the new administrative areas. We are so thankful for the incredible progress being made and how the Lord is providing through the generosity of His people. If you’re interested in supporting this project, follow the link below. We are just $40,000 away from reaching our $500,000 matching gift, and we’d love to hit that goal before the end of October. Would you help us get there?

Take a look at this Gods-eye view of Wayside and the building project. We are thankful for all that God has blessed us with. We are also reminded of the great opportunity God has given us in this community to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ. See MoreSee Less

Ephesians 3:20 KJV Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

We love Ramseyer visits. Glad it was a great time.

Last week the K4 kiddos and the 1st graders went out to the building project and wrote verses and drew pictures on the studs. The first graders wrote Romans 11:36, “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.” See MoreSee Less

Part of the roof is going on today. What a beautiful day it is to see this happening.
According to our construction timeline, we are ahead of schedule so far. We are grateful.
With much progress comes much to pay for. Last week, we received about $400,000 in bills. Would you pray and ask God how He would have you participate in supporting this project? We know He is able to bend our hearts towards generosity.
