"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength."
Deuteronomy 6:5
In all our programs, we create an environment where each child feels safe, loved, and important, and where they can be themselves and grow in every area! With a firm belief that everyone is loved and created uniquely, we provide individualized attention to each student and support them in reaching their goals.
We provide a safe place to learn - both in terms of keeping the kids physically safe and resolving conflicts, and promoting empathy to foster a bully-free environment.
We have a carefully cultivated curriculum that challenges our students' minds and helps them build relationships with others. Each member of our teaching team brings their own uniqueness and talents to our school, whether that includes sign language, Spanish, or art! School-wide, our average ratio of teachers to students is 8:1. Due to this, our students are often doing work and achieving skills which are above level.

What parents are saying....
"One of the best decisions I've ever made! We toured many schools and this one checked all the boxes! Absolutely love that my boys are surrounded by God loving people, they are taught the word daily, they are cared for like family. The one on one teaching that is available is amazing for them, they are learning things so very quickly, I am impressed. The whole staff is amazing and the best part for me is the communication is great too. I'm never wondering about anything or worried about anything. My boy are so happy here and that makes me a happy mama too!" - Erica
"Best School EVER!! My two boys have attended for 2 years now. They weren't talking very well and were a bit behind. They have worked with them so well that they are talking clearly, and caught up to where they need to be. They truly care about your children and their needs! They are supportive and very respectful to your feelings. I highly recommend!!!"-Melissa

What students are saying....
"As a student at Wasatch Christian, I am so grateful I go here. I have several favorite things - the classes, the education, the environment, and most of all we get to learn and grow closer to God, and all the staff. I also get to excel in my school work. All the teachers and staff are very nice and caring. Any one of them will help with anything that you need. We also have Bible everyday and get to grow closer to God each day. Our class also gets to do special after school activities and field trips, such as lock-ins, dances, hikes, Lagoon, class camping trips, and many more fun activities. I have been coming to Wasatch Christian since I was a baby so I can’t compare to other schools, but I would never want to go to any school but Wasatch Christian." - Ari
"Wasatch Christian School is a great place! I’ve been going to school here for a long time and I love it. It’s a great environment and we have many opportunities for school activities and events during and after school. The teachers and staff care about all of us a lot. I love it here and would highly recommend it for anyone." Kurtis
"I have been a student here for many years and never had any complaints for the teachers, staff, students, or classmates. Wasatch Christian is a great place to get started on learning about God and much more with helping your education. The teachers here always strive to help their students and will always teach them many different ways, not just one. Furthermore, they have different skill levels they will help you on, whether you’re far behind, average, or way ahead, they won’t hesitate to try and help. Wasatch Christian is an amazing place if you are looking for a new school!!!" - Liana

"I love the atmosphere! It feels like one big family. Everyone cares for and supports one another."
"Being a teacher at a small Christian school is more than a job, it's a calling and a ministry. I'm gratelful for the opportunity to inspire the next generation and to be part of a nurturing, faith-centered community."
"I love seeing my students grow in their faith and develop a strong moral compass. The support from fellow teachers and administration creates a collaborative environment that is such a blessing to be working in."
"Our small class sizes makes teaching so rewarding! We are able to ensure that each child feels valued and loved and understood. It's a joy to see their unique talents flourish and to celebrate their achievements both big and small."
"In my classroom, I'm not just an educator; I'm a mentor and a guide, encouraging students to grow not only academically, but spiritually. The integration of faith into our curriculum helps students understand the importance of values such as kindness, integrity, and perseverance."
Our History
Our Roots
Daniel and Claudia Cook purchased the former Parkview Elementary school building off of 40th Street in South Ogden with another partner in March 2007 from St. Joseph’s Elementary School. Initially Mr. Cook and his partner purchased the building as an investment, but shortly after the purchase Mr. Cook felt led by God to consider starting up a Christian elementary school for those in Ogden and the surrounding areas. He put the word out to the community to see if there was enough interest.
In the summer of 2007, there were 28 families who wanted Wasatch Christian to become a reality. Because it was already July, Mr. Cook held a meeting to inform parents that there wasn’t enough time to begin school that year, and that he would take the 2007-08 year to generate more interest and advertise the school. At the meeting, parents made it abundantly clear that they did not want to wait another year for Wasatch Christian School to open. They wanted their kids in a Christian school in 2007.
After deliberation, the founders made the decision to open in September 2007 with 28 families enrolled. Textbooks had to be ordered, and filing cabinets and desks for the office had to be purchased quickly. Policies and procedures were then drafted with school opening in the fall of 2007. The year was a great success, as WCS ended the year with 42 children enrolled.
In 2009, we decided to get our daycare licensed by the state of Utah. As we continued to grow our daycare program, we saw the need to offer infant and toddler care. On February 9, 2013, we opened our state licensed nursery for infants and toddlers also. We have continued to add a grade each year, growing alongside our children and continuing to pour into their lives as they become little leaders in our community.
In 2019, WCS received tax-exempt status as a 501(c)3 from the federal government. We also earned an esteemed High Quality rating from the Child Care Licensing and additional awards for our teacher's commitment to providing activities and engagement beyond what is required and were also recognized for their devotion to professional development! We have continued to receive that award each year since. We also began planning to expand the school to include upper grades, which launched in 2020. We now happily serve families with infants through high schoolers. God has showed us His many blessings continually throughout the years and we are so excited to see each year what He has planned next!
