The high school program provides honors components and classes in subjects such as genetics, literature, ecology, and calculus. Students enjoy being on the right track at Whitinsville Christian School. Students at Whitinsville Christian seize opportunities to cultivate many interests. Nearly 130 students participate in the strings program, which includes weekly private and group lessons and membership in orchestras. A team of seven eighth graders won first prize in the Massachusetts competition of Destination Imagination by building a structure of pasta and glue that was less than 11 inches high and supported 600 pounds.
Older students can take part in drama productions.
Several high school students serve as peer counselors for their classmates, and others help as teacher aides. The guidance and career development office sponsors the Job Shadow program, which enables 60 students to experience a day of work in places such as banks, photography studios, and newspaper offices. Putting this kind of effort into developing Christian students makes Whitinsville Christian increasingly attractive to parents. Thus, the school needs more teachers, additional classrooms, and more athletic fields. But the result is worth the effort.
