Growing faith
Biblical truth in every classroom.
Believing that genuine education is grounded in the truth of God’s revelation, biblical truth is integrated into our academic program, extracurricular activities, and student life. Students are introduced to faith in Christ and encouraged to adopt a biblical worldview through teachers, Bible classes, chapel, spiritual emphasis initiatives, retreats, and mission endeavors.
Every teacher at WCA is a committed Christian who cares for students’ spiritual needs as well as their academic ones.
- Bible class, four times a week
- Classes are usually divided by grade and gender. After four years, students better understand the themes of the Old Testament, lessons for Christians from the New Testament, and topics that relate to young believers in American society.
- Chapel every Wednesday
- Chapel is family time for the entire high school, from messages by the pastoral staff of Grace Baptist Church to programs developed and performed by students.
