CWC serves students from 4K through 12th grade in a Christ-centered learning environment focused on helping students grow academically, spiritually, and personally.

CWC’s mission is: To teach students to glorify God and serve in His world.

This mission shapes everything we do—from academics and worship to athletics, arts, service, and relationships.

At CWC, faith is woven into every part of learning and school life. Students are surrounded by caring teachers, Christian influences, strong academics, and meaningful opportunities that help prepare them for college, careers, trades, and lives of purpose.

Families often choose CWC because students are:

  • Known and supported by teachers and staff

Faith is integrated throughout the entire school experience. Students participate in:

CWC values strong partnerships between families, churches, and schools in the spiritual formation of students. At least one parent is asked to be a professing member of a church or actively pursuing a life of faith. We also understand some families may be searching for a church home, and we are happy to help connect families with local churches and Christian community opportunities.

CWC teaches from a distinctly Reformed perspective - that Jesus Christ has lordship over all creation and is at work renewing all things. Because of this, we see education as more than gaining knowledge. It is part of God’s bigger story of restoration.

CWC welcomes students from all Christian traditions. We are grateful for the diversity within the body of Christ and the opportunity to learn from one another as we grow together in faith.

  • Hands-on learning opportunities

We take a personalized approach to advanced learning opportunities.

We take an individualized approach to supporting students by working closely with families, teachers, and our Educational Support Services (ESS) team to find appropriate solutions for each student that needs extra help.

  • Classroom accommodations and modifications
  • Guided study halls with a teacher
  • Daily check-ins or organization support
  • Resource room assistance
  • Paraprofessional support within classrooms

No. While many families are from Waupun, students also travel from surrounding communities including Fond du Lac, Ripon, Beaver Dam, Juneau, Randolph, Brandon, and other nearby areas. Transportation and bussing options are available for many communities.

We believe family engagement in the CWC community contributes to a thriving school culture. Parents and students experience the best of CWC when they contribute to a positive, unified community.

For more information please contact the CWC Office.

CWC does not require uniforms. We do, however, seek to promote excellence in all areas of education, including dress. How students dress reveals much about their attitude toward life, respect for themselves, for their peers and for God. What we wear is one of the first things others notice about us and will definitely contribute to the first impression we make. Our dress can suggest that we are aligned with a Christian worldview or a secular worldview. If we desire to represent a Christian worldview, we will dress in a way that appropriately reflects Jesus Christ’s presence in our lives (Ephesians 5:3; 2 Timothy 2:22). Student dress should reflect Christian values of modesty and good taste. For specific dress code rules, please refer to our Student Handbook.
