Our History

Worldwide Christian Schools (WWCS) was founded in Canada in 1994 after 8 years of existence in the United States, with the purpose of building Christian schools around the world in the areas they were needed most.  Today, WWCS provides holistic educational development programs dedicated to the glory of God and to the service of the local community, without regard for race, color, or creed.

The WWCS founders took a unique approach to ministry through schools: they recognized that the most precious resource that God has given us is not money - it’s time.  Business people understand the value of time; non-profit organizations should be no different: what is our goal, what are we here to do, and how can we get there in the most efficient way possible?

To ensure accountability and sustainability, all WWCS school projects are carried out in partnership with indigenous Christian organizations and schools that are established and respected, with a long-term interest and investment in the community.  Starting up school ministries run by those from outside of a culture runs the risk of being culturally-insensitive or uninformed.  WWCS believes the best approach is to come alongside national and international organizations that operate their own schools in their communities, empowering local visionaries and leaders to carry the work forward.  Our job is simply to provide them with the critical resources they need to do their jobs.
