I attended Wake Christian Academy kindergarten through 12th grade. Classroom and academic expectations were always communicated well. There were many extra-curricular activities and athletics to participate in. One of my favorite electives I took while at Wake Christian was Practical Christian Service. We volunteered with The Good News Express to share the gospel at the NC State Fair and volunteered at local assisted living facilities where we played BINGO with the residents. I learned how to be the hands and feet of Jesus through this class and it blessed my heart in so many ways. I hope they bring it back as an elective for the current students.

I am an alumni of WCA and both my children attend. We love our school. Great academics and offers many sport programs.
2/1/2023
I like Wake Christian's teachers and think the education system is really well done. They did their best to give students an option to do either in person or online when COVID-19 was happening, and I appreciated that. They could improve on the budget for the band and strings as they've had the same things for years. Overall, I really enjoyed being enrolled at Wake Christian.

The staff and administration are the most caring and supportive group of people; more so, their focus is that each student develops their relationship with the Lord. The curriculum is curre...

WCA presents well on the surface, and the teachers are dedicated Christians who genuinely care for the students. However, challenges exist within the administration at all levels. Parent input is often not given much weight, and there is a sense that only a select group—primarily alumni, including s...

Wake Christian has a family-like atmosphere even though it is one of the larger private schools in Wake County. The teachers and staff are what makes Wake Christian standout above everywhere else. They truly love the students they teach and care about them beyond the classroom. Wake Christian has a...
