As a parent of a young child, you know that their school environment will have a significant impact on their learning.

Spiritual Formation
Each month, elementary school students work on building specific Christian character traits that are reinforced through daily lessons, weekly Chapels, and classroom activities. Our teachers weave God’s word into every subject area, allowing students to see how Scripture applies to their lives. In Chapel, students get to worship together, hear inspiring messages, and experience the benefits of Wesleyan’s distinctive Christian community.

“As an alumnus of WCA, I had so many wonderful teachers that invested in my life and truly shaped who I am today. Now being in the role of a third-grade teacher has made me want to train up the next generation for great things to come. I love being able to teach my students about the love of Jesus, and to grow little minds for the Kingdom is one of the greatest blessings in the world – something I will never take for granted. This close-knit community and school family I get to be a part of every day is my home away from home.”
