About WDCS
About West Dallas Community School
West Dallas Community School was founded in 1995 to serve the families of West Dallas, one of the most underserved areas in our city. WDCS offers access to a private, Christian education for children in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. All students attend on scholarship, with most families paying below $100 per month.
Students gain a love and understanding for all that is good, true and excellent. We are determined to level the playing field by providing the education that all children deserve. It is through God’s abundant grace and your generosity that we are able to do so.
