Join Our Mission to Shape the Future of Christian Education!
Westside Christian Schools of Portland is poised to embark on a transformative journey, born from the historic unification of West Hills Christian School, a cherished K-8 institution with 75 years of legacy in Portland’s West Hills, and Westside Christian High School, a vibrant 40-year-old high school in Tigard, Oregon. As sister schools founded by shared families and united by a common vision, their merger, effective July 1, 2025, marks a bold step toward amplifying Christ-centered education in Portland.
