“Moving our fifth-grader and third-grader to WCA was something we had been considering for years. We are so grateful that God led our family to finally make the decision and do so boldly, as the school has blessed us beyond our prayers. The curriculum has reignited our children’s love of learning, and by teaching with a Biblical worldview, the lessons they are bringing home challenge us as parents and grow our faith as well. The intentionality with which teachers, administrators, and fellow WCA families have embraced our kids and us as a family has been wonderful. When friends ask us if we’ll be back in public school as soon as the pandemic is over, we’re able to answer with a quick and definitive “No” – WCA is home.”

“When anyone asks us where our kids go to school, I always reply with “Westside Christian Academy, It was the best decision we ever made, hands down!” 5 years ago we had our oldest son enrolled in our local public school. We were very involved in our community, the local Early Childhood PTA, and both my husband and I went to public schools, so we did not even question where our kids would attend school. 

Right about the time we enrolled our son for Kindergarten, it seemed that everywhere we turned; clients of ours, friends at church, and even neighbors started talking about WCA. A school we had never even heard of.  They all, like us, not only said their kids attended, but that it was “the best decision they ever made.” One peer in our industry said that he would have taken out a second mortgage on his home if it meant sending his kids to WCA. With those strong statements, we felt the Lord leading us to learn more.

We started asking more questions to a WCA family who attended our church. They invited us to a school event and open house where I was intrigued by the Classical Christian Education model. In that same timeframe, I attended our Public Schools Kindergarten open house. I will never forget how different I felt at each. At the public school, the teachers were telling us what we needed to do as parents to make their lives easier. Make sure they are dressed, that they can zip their coats, that they are dropped off on time, etc… when I came to WCA’s open house, it was the exact opposite. The teachers and staff talked about how they were going to build into our kids, how they were going to teach them well to a higher standard, shepherd them in lieu of behavior modification methods, and teach them how much God loves them. After that night, it was clear to me where God was leading us.

I truly believe that WCA is one of the greatest blessings in our family’s lives.  It’s been incredible watching this community build into our two boys teaching them how to love the Lord, to love others and to become not only good students, but to build up their integrity, their character and to become our future leaders.  Sending our two boys to WCA is a decision we will never regret.”

“Westside Christian Academy is truly a gem in the Cleveland area.  Each year we are amazed at the growth and maturity that we see in our girls.  This is largely due to the amazing teachers that shepard our children through everyday circumstances at school as well as the outstanding curriculum that builds each year.  The structured environment allows our three girls to thrive – they love going to school, learning and even the memorization!  In every part of their day they are taught to think with a biblical world view which is critical in the ever-changing world around us.  WCA is a community of families that truly care about each other and value the present day application of the bible.”
