My children are finishing their first year at WCA and they have improved in all subjects. The staff really cares about every student. I'm extremely satisfied with the school and encourage those interested to tour the school and sit in the classes and see how amazing it is for yourself...
Excellent school ! Academic excellence and Christian values. I am very happy that my child is at this school.
This is a great place to consider if you are deciding between homeschool or private education. The classes are small so your child gets plenty of one-on-one attention yet the student has the opportunity to interact with peers and benefit from the expertise of many different teachers. The staff cares for the students as if they were their own children and you can feel comfortable knowing they are in good hands each day.
WCA is a great place for kids, as long as those kids are neuro-typical and linguistically talented. If your child has no trouble attending to lengthy lectures, memorizing 30 spelling words each week, and reading books that can be at least two grade levels above his reading level, then WCA is for him. Don't consider this school, however, if you want classroom teachers who differentiate for different abilities or plan for children with even the slightest of special needs. Ain't happenin', folks.
Since we transferred our daughter to WCA we have been so blessed and thankful for her academic improvement. We transferred her in January of 2006 - midway thru 1st grade - that can be a daunting decision, but of course God is faithful and so is the satff at WCA. Every staff member, from the Principal to her classroom teacher, is committed to her academic achievement and spiritual salvation and growth. Her handwriting and reading needed improving and the Spalding Method works. As a parent, I have full confidence in her teacher and the comfort of seeing how warmly the other students embraced her. WCA encourages parent involvement and I feel as though I have joined a Christ-centered team faithful to God and ready to help our family anyway possible! I sincerely wished we had started in Kindergarten!
We are very pleased with the dedicated staff at WCA. Many times they have lovingly, yet firmly demonstrated the Christ like discipline necessary for a quality eduacation. My job requires me to live in the city of Cleveland and there is no comparison in quality. We will continue the education of our three children at WCA for as long as we can.
There's many reason's why we chose WCA for our kid's education. Among them is the school's focus on keeping Christ at the foundation of everything they learn. Outstanding academics, teachers and staff continue to confirm that our choice of WCA was the right choice.
If you are looking for a school that helps teach students by an excellent classical curriculum, coupled with a desire to love and serve Jesus Christ, this is the school for you. Westside Christian Academy is not only good for children, but also for families. The teachers are loving, caring and qualified and the atmosphere of the school is warm and nurturing. We are blessed to have found this wonderful school.
Westside Christian Academy is for families who want a Christian environment that encourages excellence and leadership through a caring and mentoring relationship with the faculty.
This is a unique place. The Shepherding Philosophy toward discipline is far superior to the behavior modification approachs used by most schools. My kids have all performed at a high academic level at WCA. We love it, and recommend it for any parent who is serious about their kid's education, and wants a school that supports their influence in their child's life.
