Westside Christian High School is a private Christian High School located in Tigard, Oregon, United States.
In 1981, with 10 students and 6 teachers, Westside Christian High School opened its doors in the vacant Collins View School building (now Riverdale High School) to serve families on the west side of town. In 1992 after a collaborative effort with Lake Bible Church, a new combined church and high school structure was built on the corner of Kruse Way and Carman Drive in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
In 2011, the school announced plans to move to Tigard and a new, larger campus where they planned to eventually grow their enrollment to 450 students. [1] The school received a $1 million grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust to help pay for the new location. [2]
In February 2013, Westside purchased the property at the intersection of Highway 99 and 217, just twenty minutes south of downtown Portland. They moved into their new campus in January 2014.
