West Memphis Christian School opened in 1970 with a daycare and kindergarten class of 50 students at the Missouri Street Church of Christ, then added a grade each year until our first senior class graduated in 1978. More than 800 students have graduated since. Today kindergarten through 12th grade share one campus at 1101 North Missouri Street: grades 7 to 12 moved into the building in 2006, grades 4 to 6 followed in 2015, and K to 3 joined in 2018. We are a non-denominational, coeducational Christian school accredited by the Arkansas Nonpublic Schools Accrediting Association, the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools and the National Christian School Association. Bible-based teaching runs through every subject, and small classes keep teachers closely connected with each student. An indoor sportsplex and football field were added in 2015, and our teams compete in football, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, cross country, track, tennis, golf and cheer. For 2026-27, tuition is $8,500 for kindergarten through 6th grade and $9,700 for grades 7 to 12, payable yearly, quarterly or monthly. We participate in the Arkansas Education Freedom Account program.
