When your complete application is received and reviewed, you will then be able to schedule your student’s assessment date.

For students entering grades K-5, a one-on-one assessment will be conducted with a teacher to assess developmental, cognitive, and academic readiness factors. This helps ensure every student is set up for success at WCA. Students entering middle and high school will take a more academic-focused entrance test to aid with course placement and to ensure a smooth transition into WCA.

Once your student’s assessment is complete, your application will be reviewed by our admissions team. You will then have the option to schedule your admissions interview to finalize the process.

You will be notified of admission within 7-10 days of your interview.

From kindergarten through twelfth grade, we focus on each student’s spiritual development as well as his or her intellectual growth.

Our admissions process is personalized and thorough to ensure WCA is the best fit for your family.

Our graduates go on to top universities around the nation after completing a rigorous college preparatory program.

WCA offers fine arts education, foreign language, competitive athletics, technology education, and a wide range of clubs and elective course options to help each child discover their unique passions.

Students at WCA are guided by spiritually mature, accredited teachers (many with advanced and doctoral degrees) who are qualified in their subject areas.

Parents and grandparents are invited to play active roles in their students’ education at WCA.
