Wildwood Christian School

What Wildwood Christian School does

Wildwood Christian Academy is a private, Christ-centered K-12 school operating as a ministry of Wildwood Calvary Chapel from its campus at 35145 Oak Glen Road, Yucaipa, California. It serves Christian families seeking biblical-worldview education from Junior Kindergarten through 12th grade, delivered through two primary channels: on-campus classroom instruction (Jr. K through 8th grade) with class sizes capped at 20 to 25 students, and an At Home Learning program (grades 1 through 12) combining online curriculum with optional on-campus participation in chapels, athletics, and social events. Curriculum is anchored on BJU Press and Purposeful Design textbooks with streaming video instruction, and the school holds WASC accreditation through June 2027 along with ACTS and ACSI credentials.

The technology stack is a third-party SaaS assembly rather than a proprietary platform: RenWeb for online admissions, FACTS Family Portal for grades, attendance, and tuition management, Christian Classroom Online (Edvance360) for at-home course delivery, and Renaissance STAR plus Freckle Math for assessment and supplemental math. Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition ($2,900 to $7,600 per student by grade and modality), registration fees ($625 to $725), usage-based Warrior Care before/after-school services ($7.50/hour), a Chick-fil-A hot-lunch program ordered via FACTS, and a SCRIP gift-card rebate program that splits rebates 50/50 with family tuition accounts. The school is led by Principal Reid Isaac and Vice Principal Michael Pryor, with approximately 13 to 15 staff including specialty teachers, and operates as a nonprofit ministry with no external venture or equity funding.

Customer segments are narrowly defined as evangelical Christian families, with pastoral referral and church-attendance requirements embedded in the admissions process. Distribution is community-led, primarily leveraging the Wildwood Calvary Chapel congregation, word-of-mouth referrals, and dual-enrollment partnerships with Liberty University, Grand Canyon University, California Baptist University, and Calvary Chapel University that enable high-school students to earn transferable college credit. Athletics run through the Inland Empire Christian Athletic League (IECAL) for grades 4 through 12. Geographic footprint is concentrated in the Yucaipa/Inland Empire region for on-campus delivery, with the online At Home Learning segment extending reach beyond the local market.
