Registration

Accreditation

WSCS is listed by the State as a non-registered, non-public school. As a ministry of First Baptist Church, we maintain the principle of church autonomy by not seeking registration with the state and as such WSCS is a fully accredited member of New York Association of Christian Schools (NYACS) and its parent organization, the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS). Standardized test scores consistently reflect our high academic standards, well above the national averages.  We both meet and exceed the state’s minimum requirements and our graduates have been accepted without question by both secular and Christian colleges and universities.
