Woodstock Christian School strives to be an inclusive and supportive school; it seeks to regard children with exceptionalities as members of its learning community. Each person is God’s unique creation, reflecting the glory of God in his or her own way.  This means that the basic question is not "Can this student with exceptionalities do what the rest of the class is doing?" but rather, "How can we best meet the needs of this child and all the other members of the class?" Our starting point is that each student is valuable and accepted as a member of our school community.  From this point of view, decisions are made concerning the best interests of the child and the community of learners.

OUR PROGRAM
