What our Parents Say…
The following are unsolicited testimonials from parents (former and current) of The Washington New Church School
(most have been gleaned from school review sites such as Private School Review.)
“I attended the Washington New Church School when it first opened its doors 40 years ago, and am thrilled to have my two sons there now. WNCS prepared me for my career in engineering and management, as well as for my life as a contributing member of the local and greater Community. It is exciting to see that our little school has maintained its commitment to academic excellence as well as spiritual and moral strength, while expanding its commitment to growing and sharing the special type of education it offers to more families in the area.” ~ Sharon C, Upper Marlboro MD
“This is our first year with WNCS. My 2nd grader loves going to school and is always sharing the fun things she is learning and knowledge she is able to apply to life even at her young age. I like the hands-on approach to academics and the multiple interactions the younger children have with the older ones in games and other learning activities. As a Christian school, I also appreciate the intellectual approach WCNS takes to spiritual principles and God’s Word. It is taught in a way that is applicable to everyday life and builds a reverence for the Lord Jesus Christ that is wholesome and close to the heart. So far, I like it.” ~ Dari P. Bowie, MD
“We have seen an amazing growth in our son academically and spiritually over the past year. Enrolling him at Washington New Church School has challenged some of his hidden talents and exposed his known talents such as art, etc.” ~ Wanda M. Bowie, MD
“My daughter loves Junior Kindergarten at Washington New Church School. She brings home bread on baking day, and new ideas every day of the week. It’s been great to watch her learn and grow. ” ~ Lincoln S., Mitchellville, MD
“Three of my children have gone through WNCS, and it’s an amazing place to learn and grow. The children feel safe and nurtured as well as intellectually stimulated. One can sense this in the atmosphere at the school: joyful and charged with energy. I can’t imagine a better place to prepare my children academically and spiritually.” Amanda H., Mitchellville, MD
“WNCS has been an important part of our family’s life for the past 18 years when the first of our five children started kindergarten. Our youngest child is now in the fifth grade and he and his brother and sisters have benefited from the dedicated faculty, small class size, and overall atmosphere of caring for each individual student. WNCS is a great school.” Angela B., Bowie, MD
“Our son appreciates the dedication, enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of all his teachers. He especially enjoys the wonderful sense of community which envelopes the entire school–faculty and students from Kindergarten through 10th grade.” David G., Greenbelt, MD

(Feb 3, 2016) “WNCS is so amazing this is our first year with this school and we love it. We get so many amazing activities sent home its amazing the small class room size is great one of the main reason we made those choice to send our son here but the love and support you get is absolutely amazing. Wouldn’t want to send him any where else.” ~ a parent
(Nov. 20, 2014) “WNCS is an amazing school! The classes are small and the level of education the children receive is first class. The teachers are wonderful caring people that really spend the time getting to know your children. I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else, he is in such good hands and has been since since Kindergarten!” ~ a parent
(Mar. 5, 2014) “Best Kept Secret” My son attended WNCS for 5 years. I ask him what did he like about WNCS and he said how the teachers made him stay focus on the task. But at the same time, how they kept it fun and interesting and they show how the Lord works with all of it. Then I asked him what he didn’t like. And he said that he wish that he would have started at WNCS at Pre-K. To make a long story short my son is now attending 11th & 12th grade at their mother school in Pennsylvania. (WNCS is Pre-k -10th grade). I hope to see you and talk to you at the next Open House on Thursday 3 April 2014. We were so impressed with how our son has mature with the school and grown spirituality.Things that drew us to this school: Small class sizes, safe environment, caring teachers & staff, it’s affordable, the academics, and the way the Lord has guided and is a part of everything at this school.” ~ C.Moore
(Sept. 19, 2012) “WNCS has been a blessing to my family. The small class size, strong academics and the family feel of the school was the best decision we made for our son.” ~ a parent

(December 29, 2009) “WNCS is small with very close teacher to student interaction. The school and its faculty place high emphasis on Christian values and enforces desirable moral behavior. The level of instruction our children have received cannot be matched, and the outstanding test scores are evidence of a quality education! Highest recommendations.” ~ a parent
(December 29, 2009) “I love WNCS! No where else would my children get such individualized attention. The multi grade classroom setting allows them to learn at the right pace and be challenged by other students in a non-competitive setting. Academics are top notch but I also appreciate the creative sphere at the school- with the art, music and PE classes allowing my children to learn through all the senses. The teachers are great and its nice to have such an involved set of parents. The spiritual sphere teaches my children charity, kindness and usefulness and this is something I don’t think they would get anywhere else.” ~ a parent
