I recommend Whitefield Academy to anyone who wants the very best education for their child. It's considered the best because of the outstanding and nurturing faculty, the thorough, classical mode of instruction, and the great community. Close Quote

Whitefield Academy is a blessed place. I have taught here for 12 years. We continue to grow and become more and more a Christ-centered community of classical learning. It's a wonder and delight to behold God's purposes unfold. If you are looking for a safe and enriching environment for your child to grow and develop, to stir up your child's love of learning and desire for God, this is a good one to check out. Close Quote

We love Whitefield Academy! Even though we have daughters in TK and First Grade, we feel connected with the students and families up through Twelfth grade. It is a very tightly knit community where the faculty and staff genuinely love the students, pray for the students, and push them to work hard. Whether it's cursive in Kindergarten or participating in an Art Show in the West Bottoms as a senior, this school is miles above any other school in the area. 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.
