Back to School Retreat The school year begins with an exciting retreat to the Anchorage Christian Camp. Knowing that a successful year begins with Field Day
Biblical Emphasis At Wilmington Christian Academy, every teacher is a committed Christian, who cares not only for the students' academic needs, but also their spiritual needs. All subjects, therefore, are taught so that every student develops an thorough Biblical worldview. Whether it is in Biology or AP English Literature, students learn what the Bible says about practical issues of life. Bible class meets four times a week in a normal classroom setting. These classes are usually divided by grade and gender (i.e. freshmen boys, junior girls.) After four years at WCA, a student will better understand the themes of the Old Testament, lessons for Christians from the New Testament, and specific topics that relate to young believers in American society. Every Wednesday, students meet in the auditorium for chapel. Chapel is family time for the entire high school. From messages from pastor from the staff at Grace Baptist Church to programs developed and performed by the students, chapel is designed to address the needs of hearts. As students and faculty member’s hearts hear God’s word, we are better able to apply His will to our lives! Scholarships Every year students at WCA earn scholarships for post secondary study. The following is a partial list over the past few years.
Leadership In an effort to develop a young man or woman’s God-given leadership abilities, WCA offers a variety of opportunities. Each class elects Students each summer attend the Youth Legislative Training Conference hosted by the American Association of Christian Schools. This program challenges students to view the U.S. legislative process from a biblical perspective. Students benefit from activities including a Congressional briefing, professional workshops, and a mock Senate simulation in which real world issues are debated. Along with visiting historical sites, students visit their Senators and Representatives. This is truly a great experience for politically-minded high school students.  Academics
WCA students annually exceed state and national averages on the ACT (American College Test) which is administered to nearly 1.2 million college bound students. After graduation, approximately 94% of WCA students will attend a post-secondary institution. Of those students, a quarter of them will continue their education at a Christian university or college. Nearly every student who applies for college will be accepted into the college of his or her choice. The majority of WCA students will earn either the College Preparatory or Honors Diploma upon graduation. These students exceed the requirements for graduation from the North Carolina Department of Education. In addition to advanced and honors courses, students may enroll in AP Calculus, AP English Language & Composition, and AP English Literature & Composition. A General Diploma is provided to students that meet graduation requirements of the State of North Carolina. Resource classes are available for students with mild learning disabilities. Every academic program is fully accredited through the North Carolina Christian School Association and the American Christian School Association. A Well-Rounded Education A student's educational needs are more than just the basic subject areas. WCA provides opportunities for students to study other avenues of interests A vivid fine arts program offers instruction by quality artists in choir, band, drama, and art. Along with programs throughout the year, these students compete in state and national festivals as they develop their God-given talents. A competitive sports program for ladies and men includes soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, and cheerleading. Visit our Athletics Webpage. |

dedicating our hearts and 
lives to Christ. Pastor Jay Knobbs from Vermont challenged us to learn that life is all about God - His glory, His desires, and His plans. In addition, the student body participates in water sports, class activities, hilarious skits, and lots of food. What a way to kick off the school year!
After a couple of months of intense studying, students are ready for a break. The physical education department comes to the rescue: FIELD DAY! This exciting event creates school unity and fun. The high school is divided into four teams with names based on the theme for the day. This year in "WCA
