Wheaton Academy is not just a school but a close community tied together by our shared identity in Christ. Because of this Christian culture, generosity, warmth, and kindness are everywhere from the parents and faculty to the students.

I genuinely loved my time at Wheaton Academy. I think I really discovered who I was during my four years there. While people do that in high schools all over the world, it was unique to grow in a community that pushed me to become a person who loves others no matter what. Their are so many great people at Wheaton Academy, even after leaving I have teachers that still reach out to me to check in and life long friends all around the nation. These people have given me everything I have have and I am proud to be connected to this place.

I just tried to get a call scheduled with the Principal and Counselor to express my displeasure (Exactly what I said when I gave my message to the receptionist. The Principal's...
