Partnering with Families
Christ is Central. Partnership is Essential.
At Central Wisconsin Christian, education is more than academics—it is a shared calling. We believe children are best nurtured through a three-fold partnership of home, church, and school, each with a distinct and essential role.
Parents are the primary spiritual leaders, shaping and modeling faith in everyday life. The church comes alongside to disciple and root children in God’s Word. CWC partners in this work by integrating faith into every subject, activity, and experience.

Who We Are:
We are a school teaching students that all areas of life are to be lived under, and restored within, the reign of Jesus Christ. Our goal is not academic excellence alone, but students who know Christ, seek to bring Him glory, and are prepared for service in His world. God created each student to serve uniquely, which is why we believe in “life prep education” –helping students discover their God-given gifts and equipping them for the path ahead.
Our Approach to Education:
Our teachers and staff walk alongside our students in both academic growth and faith formation. They teach a Biblical worldview in each subject while modeling a Christian life through their actions.
CWC is not a replacement for the church, but a partner in the faithful teaching of your child. We believe students are more successful when they are engaged in a church family, actively surrounded by positive mentors of diverse ages to encourage and guide them. We are not a school without conflict but believe in restoration as Christ restores us out of grace. We understand students will make mistakes. We choose to handle those mistakes by speaking in truth and love.
Our partnership is grounded on a shared foundation of values:
Partnership through Shared Commitments
Family Commitment:
At CWC, we partner with families in which at least one parent/guardian has clear testimony of personal faith in Jesus Christ, regularly attends a local Christian church and desires for their child to receive a Christ-centered education. We believe your child is most successful when you support and reinforce biblical values taught at school and model a life of faith at home.
Our Commitment:
- Biblical worldview integrated into every subject, activity and experience
- Teachers and staff who are committed Christians actively walking alongside your child in their faith journey. A kindergartener’s faith journey is different from a 7th grader or a senior in high school; our teachers meet students where they are at in their journey
- A culture that reflects choosing joy and caring for others
Family Commitment:
We believe students succeed when parents and teachers share an expectation that students will give their best effort in every academic pursuit. We ask that families support academic discipline and perseverance. When challenges arise, we encourage parents to partner with teachers for solutions best suited for their child.
Our Commitment:
- Learning environments where students are known and challenged
- Expectations that encourage students to go beyond academic basics
- Programs designed to build real understanding and independent thinking
Family Commitment:
We partner with families who value their child’s gifts and growth, not just outcomes. We are one body with many parts. Your child’s path is unique, but the destination of our students is the same: to use their God-given gifts to serve in His Kingdom.
Our Commitment:
- Teachers who look at the whole child and challenge each student to grow as God has created them according to their individual strengths
- Preparation for life beyond school—whether college, a trade, or another calling
- Encouragement to strive to grow in character, responsibility, and independence
Family Commitment:
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. We ask parents to participate in school life when they are able. Volunteering is an opportunity to model service for your child and support CWC’s mission beyond your own student.
Our Commitment:
- A wide range of opportunities for meaningful family involvement
- Clear communication and support for volunteers
- A school where students and families are known and valued
Family Commitment:
We believe Christian education is a lifelong investment in your child. We partner with families who view tuition as one of the greatest financial investments they can make. We recognize that Christian education may be financially challenging and offer financial assistance programs to those that qualify. We ask families to commit to making tuition payments consistently and to proactively communicate with the school if challenges arise.
Our Commitment:
- Christ-centered education, expert teachers and high quality programs
- Faithful stewardship of resources
- Transparency and integrity in financial practices
- Accessibility to financial aid options for families
Family Commitment:
We believe that when conflict arises, parents and staff who communicate with honesty, grace, and respect set a valuable example for our students. By assuming positive intent and approaching conflict with a desire to seek understanding and resolution, we teach students empathy in challenging situations.
Our Commitment:
- A one-on-one approach following Christ’s command to the church in Matthew 18:15-17
- Opportunities to share your thoughts and perspectives
- A willingness to listen and find a solution that fits your family and child
- A desire for restoration through collaboration by speaking the truth in love
