I started my oldest child in K-5 when we first moved to Wilmington, thinking we would transfer to a public school once we were settled.

We sent out two elementary kids to this school and after two weeks we pulled them out. I was hoping for a grace-filled Christian school, but it is more resembles a military style school.

There is never a perfect school anywhere but if you are looking for a Conservative Christian atmosphere that embraces structure in today's ever evolving moires this is your place. Teachers have been very friendly and my kids admire them for their commitment to serving them and God . We were at another

That the bible is taught from a dispensational perspective ( no charismatic or mamby pamby liberal views ) , Contemporary music is not encouraged (no rap no ccm crap)and dress is modest and conservative. These are not all bad things in my world but for some others they may have issues with the structure. To Sum it Up WCA 'Where Men are Men and Women are Women' Read less

I have been a student and am now a parent. I will say this about WCA... a child attending the school is in the safest possible academic atmosphere in NHC. Although the teachers may seem rigid, they have loved many a child through graduation. Sometimes the obvious is missed and the small is taken to

I do not believe it is possible to find a better school!! My children began attending Wilmington Christian Academy 6-1/2 years ago.

There is genuine concern from teachers and administration, and the focus on God is clearly evident in the curriculum offered.

There are other private schools in Wilmington; however, I am thankful that WCA was available for my family. Read less
