Wheaton Academy has excellent teachers that prepare you well for college and AP exams. The Fine Arts program is also excellent. The sports are getting better but still don't offer the full array that public schools do, such as swimming, martial arts, hockey, etc. The school is small and can be very cliquish due to family legacy and being a Christian school resulting in a lot of favoritism. For non-Christian students, it may be hard to get noticed for accomplishments.

At Wheaton Academy, we found that students are provided with endless opportunities for personal, academic, spiritual and social growth in a rigorous, yet overwhelmingly supportive environment. The faculty is extremely invested and dedicated to student success. Additionally, we love that while the students are widely diverse in many ways, they share similar values and faith.

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.

This school was a gift from God to me. I had fallen into a deep depression during my junior year at a local high school, and I knew I needed something to change. Wheaton Academy was exactly what I needed. The teachers knew my name, cared about my well-being, and were very experienced in their fields...
