About us

We're so glad that you've decided to visit us! First Christian Day School is a well-established part of the community, having served Waxahachie and the surrounding areas for more than 30 years. We enroll preschoolers ages 2 through 4, and elementary students in Kindergarten through 8th grades. We teach every subject from a Christian worldview and a biblical perspective, and our teachers understand that in order for children to learn and grow academically, they must also grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. From our smallest toddlers to our oldest students preparing for high school, we consider each child a part of our family. You are warmly invited and encouraged to visit us in person, and to see why First Christian should be your First Choice for your child's education!

Founded in 1982, First Christian Day School serves students in Waxahachie and the surrounding areas by providing classes for Preschool 2 - 4-year-olds and Kindergarten through upper grades. It is our purpose to provide a strong academic program that prepares students for successful adulthood. Our school, which is part of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), has developed over the years from a preschool to a primary school to upper grades. We teach Bible-based religion in our classrooms and are dedicated to service to the Lord by providing a Christian atmosphere in which children may grow and thrive.

The mission of First Christian Day School is to promote positive learning opportunities for each student. Those opportunities allow each student to develop academically, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Students should value achievement, respect, and care for others, embrace diversity, communication, responsibility, and trust in God.

We strive to make our school an experience where each of our student's educational endeavors is appreciated and encouraged. Core subjects are taught from the whole child's perspective. Religion is a fundamental part of our curriculum and is enhanced with daily Chapel services and through a classroom Character program. Along with the Core Curriculum, students also participate in Art, Spanish, Physical Education, Computer, and Vocal Music programs.
