Inspiring Intellect
The Academy's academic program challenges students to maximize their God-given intellectual abilities as they prepare for success in the next phase of their education.
From basic college prep courses to Advanced Placement and college credit offerings, students are equipped to acquire knowledge, think critically and communicate effectively. Teachers employ a variety of instructional methods combined with current technology to provide our students with an exceptional education.
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, approximately 15% of them will continue their education at a Christian university or college. All WCA seniors apply to a university or college of their choice as part of WCA’s graduation requirements. 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. In addition to honors and dual credit courses—such as ENG 201: Introduction to Literature, HIS 206: Making of the Modern World, and MAT 271: Calculus—students may select from a variety of AP courses, including AP World History, AP Computer Science Principles, and AP Physics. A General Diploma is provided to students that meet the graduation requirements of the State of North Carolina.
