Wilmington Christian Academy

"I have not been happy with this school most of this school year so I finally removed my son from this environment. We have never really felt welcomed and always felt like we were outsiders looking in - to an environment that is very cliquish starting from the top. And I'm writing this review with facts from my perspective so please take that into account. The issues we experienced are numerous - starting with teachers that don't really seem to care or focus on the students as my son was NEVER able to get math help. Surprisingly, though, he is thriving in his new school and actually learning math. Also, sports seems to be where the money is and it seems to be a "win at all costs" mentality and we found that coaches do not treat players fairly or equitably. Finally, the administration has absolutely no consistency in how they handle issues. For example, my son rode the bus home one day from an event, with the school's permission, but not dressed in his uniform. This came back on my son at the next event as they felt he could not be trusted to follow the rules and potentially would get all other students kicked out of the event due to his "behaviors". So, I had to drive him to this next event, he could not stay with his peers and once again, we were basically shunned. But the odd thing is, they NEVER had a conversation with my son before they basically shunned him. Then once I withdrew my son, the business office was supposed to send me final billing. Of course, they didn't do that, but they were very quick to charge me a $40 late charge. Overall, the school talks about being an excellent education, but if you don't fit their mold, are not part of the clique or do not have tons of money to throw at their various programs, then you will not fit. And for being a "Christian" school, I feel that they epitomize the hypocrisy of Christianity. And to add insult to injury, they raised tuition next school year by 8% when I was hard-pressed to even feel like we were getting our money's worth with the existing tuition."

"My husband and I are so thankful that all 3 of our sons had the privilege to attend and graduate from Wilmington Christian Academy! Most importantly to us, WCA provided a biblically based, Christ-centered curriculum, and an excellent overall education. One of the programs we loved was the Fine Arts program, which provided wonderful, wholesome opportunities to gain confidence and excel in public speaking, theater, music, and the arts. The sports program was a blessing, too! And, we are especially thankful for all of the teachers and staff that were willing to be godly mentors, and minister to our children throughout their school experience at WCA."

"Highly recommend WCA! They provided my kiddos with a safe environment perfect for learning and spiritual growth. My kids both attended WCA for most of their education, playing a variety of sports throughout the years. My kids are now grown, but I still enjoy volunteering at WCA, and always feel "back home" when I do!"

"The Lord blessed my family when we found WCA 7 years ago! Having a child with a few learning disabilities, was hard to admit to myself! But the school has been amazing “holding my hand” and my child’s!! The teachers we have had, become a part of our family. I highly recommend WCA! Proud to be a PATRIOT!"

"The Lord used this place and the people who minister here to save my life. I starting attending WCA at the beginning of my Freshman year in 2012, and since then every major opportunity and decision in my life has been influenced by the education and relationships created here. I am currently in college, and classes are a breeze thanks to the education I received at WCA. Friendships I established with the teachers and staff continue on to this day, even stronger than before, and the God I met while attending is my savior and friend! School is what the student makes of it, and Wilmington Christian Academy provides the student every opportunity to make their time at school the best and most positive time of their life."
