I consider Washington Christian Academy as one as my homes. I am currently a Student here at WCA and I know that WCA wants this to be place of fun but obviously a place to learn. I have been going to WCA ever since Kindergarten and the journey has been hard but prosperous. We were moving from building to building, but finally in 2008 we found our own building and it is great place to go everyday. There are so many talented students and many actives for them to show their talents. I love the sports teams because we all become a family and work together. Also the plays and lower school actives are fun to attend. I am in 8th grade this year, and I hope to attend WCA for my high school years. Close Quote

My two children (middle school and elementary age) have thrived academically and spiritually at this wonderful school. The teachers are unsurpassed and go the extra mile for the kids to be successful. The staff is helpful and friendly and the after school enrichment programs are wonderful, they are never excluded from any activity or sport they would like to participate it. We feel cared for and supported by everyone here. From what I can see of the high school seniors graduating this year, the school does a wonderful job preparing them for college and beyond. I highly recommend this school. Close Quote

I have two daughter that are 7 years apart in age. One began their school curriculum in seventh grade and the other began in first. It has beena a great experience for our family. The combination of their growing relationship with God and their pursiot of academic excellencs has been impressive. Each of them are eager to go toschool each day which is a blessing in itself. The overall living environment present in the school encourages this trpy of attitude. I am also impressed with the variety and content of classes offered. We have been veryhappy with all of their teachers as well. I would higly recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote

WCA has been my home since Kindergarden and I have loved every moment of it. WCA has been a very influential part of my life. It has helped me learn so much about myself, God, and my relationship with him. WCA has one of the best curriculums out there. It challenges the student to do the best that they can. WCA has improved my study habits and given me life lessons that I believe no other school could. When you get a chance come to an open house to learn more! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
