Upland Christian Schools and Western Christian Schools update

Karen Winter, superintendent of Western Christian Schools in Covina and Claremont is sharing another update on the purchase of certain assets of Upland Christian Schools.

The following is from the update posted on Western Christian Schools' Web site:

Update on Upland Christian:

1. Escrow is moving forward positively with final process and with our financing.  As we have indicated in previous communication bulletins and parent meetings, it is a lengthy process to purchase church property, because of the due diligence process, as well as complications with the involvement of several organizations (a church, denominational school district, and Western).   As shared previously, additional issues that have played into the time frame were the legal issues that were resolved and the National banking issues, in addition to the long process of receiving non-profit bond funds.  We appreciate your continued prayers and support throughout this process.  We look forward to the positive results of owning our own high school campus.
2. Our current high school facilities in Covina have 32,000 square feet in comparison to Upland Christian which has approximately 96,000 square feet.
3. We plan to schedule an open house event at Upland Christian in April, for parents and students to preview the sight.
4. Our architects are currently working on plans to overhaul the current Upland Christian sports field.  When completed, the sports field will be larger and able to accommodate an 11 man football team.  The turf will be completely upgraded.

A parent survey was also conducted with parents of students enrolled at Western Christian Schools. The results can be found here.
