Wheaton Academy is an incredible school. The academics are challenging and engaging, but not overwhelming, although at times they become a burden for busy students ( those on sports teams, those in Furnace Company, etc). The teachers are for the most part very well qualified and take the time to get to know their students. It's obvious that the faculty members really care about the kids who go to WA. Some teachers use certain teaching styles (class discussions, lectures, etc) too often, but otherwise the classes are fantastic. Chapels are fairly good. A few have stood out as incredibly moving or thought-provoking, while others have been complete duds or even offensive. Overall, WA is a great school with a few minor faults.
This school is amazing! The teachers care about the students on a personal and spiritual level. The administration is crafting excellence and all levels and the facilities are remarkable. Alumni support has led a revival in the school and the students care about more than themselves with AIDS awareness and other activities that raise both awareness and funds. Have sent 2 children there with another 3 to come.
This is an amazing school environment for teens to develop in during their high school years. The teachers are close to the students, involved in their activities and lives. The curriculum is based around the student and how it applies to their life. The spiritual atmosphere is encouraging and supportive. This school understands high schoolers and has adapted to meet their needs.
Academics are average compared with local private schools and most public schools. Terrific Christian influence and enviroment. Above Average Spiritual Life but often lacks Spiritual formation and One on One relationship development. Big Gossip problem. Weakest Academic Programs: English, Spanish, & Business/ Computers. Strongest Academic Programs: Math, Science, & Physical Education. Need for better and qualified teachers. Plenty of activities for student involvement and a healthy dialogue between activities and academics. Parents have plenty of involvment but often rulings in severe discipline may take power away from home. Life-Changing chapels and mission trips. Teachers intergrate Biblical Worldview very well. Teachers have little to no accountability. Due to wages some unqualified teachers may be hired. Poor Summer Reading List. Overall a Life-changing Institution on its way up... still weak academically in some areas but improvement in possible. The moral and character development are unbeatable and that beats out the academic problems.
