History
In 1970 local Westbury families saw a need to open a private Christian school in Southwest Houston that provides affordable Kingdom Education to all families regardless of Christian denomination or cultural background.
The birth of that vision occurred September 2nd, 1975, when WCS opened its doors to 45 students in preschool, kindergarten and 1st through 3rd grade. Beginning in 1978, a grade was added each year until the Upper School was completed with the first senior class graduating in 1984.
From its humble beginnings, Westbury Christian School has matured into a respected private, college-preparatory, interdenominational Christian school in Harris county. Today, our school now serves over 300 students Pre-K3 through 12th grade representing over 70 Houston area churches.
Although much has changed since the school's inception 50 years ago, Westbury Christian has not wavered from its original mission of preparing youth for here and eternity. Westbury Christian strives to provide students excellent opportunities in academics, spirituality and student activities while instilling the values of servant leadership, compassionate leaders and lifelong learners.
