Elementary Self-Supported Classroom

Our Self-Supported program offers a nurturing Christian Education to students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are currently exploring options to expand our offerings to students who are in the peer group of Kindergarten-4th graders. This classroom will provide a space for growth in individual goals and objectives.

One of the goals of the Self Supported Program is to provide mainstream learning experiences to our students where appropriate. Students may have the opportunity to join their peers in enrichment classes, lunch, recess, Chapel, and some classroom learning activities.

Mrs. Charlotte Rash, our Elementary Self-Supported Teacher, not only has a wealth of experience working with these students both in and out of the classroom, but sees her position as a special type of calling and ministry. She has over 20 years experience in counseling and education. She graduated Liberty University with a degree in Psychology and has multiple certifications in cognitive behavioral therapies, autism behavioral health, and school psychology.

At WCCS, we believe that each student has been created special in the image of God, and an individual’s unique abilities and disabilities are a meaningful part of God’s creation and meant to bring Him glory.
