Whitesburg Christian Academy was the best school in Huntsville, AL. The current headmaster there has no idea how to run a school. He is running it into the ground. I would not recommend that you send your children to this school. You will be lied to and led to believe that he cares about the students. He only cares about himself and what makes him look good. Also, if your child is interested in sports, this is not the school for you. Their sports program is going no where! The only bright spot of the school are the teachers that the headmaster has not hired, that served under prior administration.
We have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the Academy. As a former educator, I've been pleased with the curriculum and teaching methods. The administration has had to add those with higher qualifications in order to lead a school faced with phenomenal growth, so some changes were in order to meet the requirements for professionals. With growth there will be change and some do not handle change well.
We were looking for a private school providing a Christian atmosphere and high academic standards. Our first year went very well as our child had a wonderful teacher. Unfortunately, subsequent years were very disappointing. The curriculum is definitely average for a private school. The administrative staff failed miserably in their Christian and professional behavior. We had hopes our child would graduate from WCA but promised growth of the upper school facilities have not materialized. Another reviewer wrote to ask questions prior to signing a contract. Don't expect to get honest answers. We pray that the Church Leadership will correct the Administration and allow WCA to prosper as a school for Christ.
When we enrolled our child at the Academy we had high expectations and thought we would be there until graduation. Events of the past year, which in our opinion were not carried on in a Christlike manner, have caused us to change course and leave the school. The teachers were fabulous. The curriculum is average for a private school. The administration needs much prayer in order to reach the potential the school once had. Parents considering enrolling their children should ask questions and pray before siging a contract.
