I have attended Western Christian for 7 years now and never thought for a second of changing schools. Attending Western Christian was the single best decision of my life and I'm sure of that. Western offers an incredible community where it doesn't matter who you are or where you came from, everyone is incredibly inclusive and welcoming. The staff and teachers are just as nice, always making sure students are prepared for the world ahead. Western also has a huge fondation built of Jesus, we know that he died for us so that we may be clean of our sins, that way we can live guilt free and peruse his commandments. (Western taught me that)

What I really like about Western Mennonite School, is the close knit community feeling of the small school, the ability to worship God at any time, and the small class sizes. One thing that I would like to see different is the teacher selection, because I feel like some of the teachers are just not qualified to teach.

The buildings are all a little old, but there is a new library which is very nice. The teachers are all helpful, and the class sizes are very small.

They are along the lines of a Privatized Salem Keizer public School. They are neither Christian nor Family oriented. They are progressive almost as bad as A Salem Keizer public school. MANY Pro LGBTQP Teachers in this school. Which is a direct slap in the face to Christianity. They are CHINOs Christ...
