MESSAGE From The Governance Board From the beginning, Woodlands Christian has existed to partner with families to provide a Christ-centered, rigorous PK-12 education that will inspire the next generation of students to personally know God and to prepare them for His unique calling on their lives. Simply stated, the primary End of Woodlands Christian is to graduate Christ-centered students inspired to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives as leaders – spiritually, intellectually, physically and socially. The Governance Board is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that our school is achieving this mission in the lives of students while prudently using the resources that God has provided. The Board uses a structured monitoring system to measure the school’s progress in achieving the Ends while maintaining sound financial stewardship and integrity in relationships with families, employees, donors, accreditation agencies and the greater community. In addition, the Board consistently focuses on the future and the long term vision of the school in order to continually direct Woodlands Christian to excel and remain true to its mission. We are grateful for our administration and faculty - a strong team of professionals dedicated to equipping students to thrive spiritually,
intellectually, physically and socially. The 2015-16 Annual Report is a glimpse into the work that God is doing on our campus in the lives of students and families. As you read through this year’s report, our prayer is that you will see reflected in the statistics and stories that God is indeed working in the hearts and minds of our students to establish a foundation rooted and built up in Christ, that will direct the course of their lives. In Him, The Governance Board
“The course of my life was changed because I attended a Christian school.” ---Dr. Dave Anderson, President of Grace School of Theology and founding member of The Woodlands Christian Academy

MESSAGE
From The Head of School
The 2015-2016 school year marked Julie Ambler’s tenth year as Head of School, but her service to Woodlands Christian began long before assuming the official leadership mantle. From volunteering when her children, Julia and J.P., were lower school Warriors, to serving as chair of the Governance Board, Mrs. Ambler has leveraged her extensive business background, passion for Christian education and strong leadership skills to guide Woodlands Christian on a path of steady, quality and continuous growth, resulting in Woodlands Christian rising to become one of the Houston area’s premier private schools.
Dear Families and Friends of The Woodlands Christian Academy, On behalf of our Governance Board, administration and faculty, we are delighted to present this annual report, summarizing highlights from the 2015-2016 school year. This was another exciting year at Woodlands Christian. We achieved record student enrollment while expanding our campus with the addition of an eight-lane 400 meter track, synthetic turf for our football/soccer field, stadium seating and a gaga-ball pit. Most importantly, we rejoiced daily in the maturation and triumphs of our wonderfully talented students. At Woodlands Christian, we strive to equip leaders – spiritually, academically, physically and socially – to fulfill God’s purpose for each of their lives. Through His transforming power, we believe that students can find their unique gifts and talents and reach their highest potential. Thus, we offer a rigorous Christian college-preparatory curriculum taught by an engaging faculty that delivers the personal mentoring and encouragement necessary to help our students succeed and develop a love of learning. Whether in the classroom, at an athletic competition or on the mission field, we challenge our students to become servant-leaders for Christ, capable of making an eternal impact for His kingdom.

We hope you enjoy this publication, in which we focus on our previous year’s achievements and the annual reporting of gifts. We are, as always, grateful for the contributions of time, talent and treasure that we receive from the families and friends of Woodlands Christian. Serving Him,
Julie H. Ambler Head of School “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17: 7 - 8
