WCA is a wonderful school, my kids were able to build a good foundation for their educational careers there. They have been able to keep up with their growing population of students and I would recommend it to anyone looking to send their children to a Christian school. It has helped my kids grow in faith and knowledge.

Bad experience overall with this school in terms of course selection, teacher/staff treatment towards certain children and ability to have your child graduate on schedule. This is a christian school that is SUPPOSED to be caring and nurturing. I would not send my child to this school.
