Our 3 kids attended Whitefield for over 8 years, right up until we had to move to Oklahoma. All of them dreamed about graduating from the school they began at and we were so sad to leave. The kids were UNBELIEVABLY prepared for their entry into the new school and are already planning to come back to see their friends and teachers as soon as they can!

We love Whitefield! We have been involved for 3 years and have a 1st grader and a PreK. The classical model, the curriculum are top notch. Our kids LOVE going to school! The teachers have been amazing. The community is so kind and loving. Our kids are learning cursive, phonograms and great social / emotional skills as well. Love that they don't use tablets in the young grades! So thankful to be at this school.

We are so happy to have found Whitefield Academy. The school has been very supportive and helpful as we navigated the difficulties of an out of state move. The teachers are kind, loving and very professional. The level of education exceeded my expectations, especially in Math, reading and writing. The parents are welcoming and we felt like part of the community right away. The staff and teachers are fully invested in helping the students grow academically as well as spiritually. We are so thankful for Whitefield Academy!

I am a teacher at Whitefield Academy, and I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone out there looking for a Christ-centered school that will help their children grow into mature people! The office staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and on top of things at all times. The other teachers are welcoming, encouraging, and clearly passionate about the students. I have never heard one of them say a single bad thing about any student, which is something I experienced in public school. And the students! Hard-working, respectful, and always a joy to be around. They make my day every time I see them.

The smaller classroom size allows all the students to participate in discussions which encourages the building of relationships with their class mates and teachers. The curriculum from pre-k through 12th grade prepares every student for entering college or a career.

Whitefield's classical Christian curriculum is unsurpassed. The writing curriculum teaches students to write with clarity and eloquence without tears and frustration. The teachers are dedicated and seek to bring out the best in each of their students.

We have been here since my oldest was in TK (Transitional Kindergarten). He is now in the 3rd grade. Both of our boys love going to WA. The staff and faculty here are amazing! I love how the teachers love on them and encourage them never to give up. They truly go out of their way to help them succeed. My husband and I feel really blessed to have found this school.

Fourteen years ago we moved to Kansas City in search of a classical Christian school to send our 5th grader, 3rd grader and Kindergartener. Two years ago our youngest, following in the footsteps of his two older siblings graduated from Whitefield Academy with honors. Although teachers and administrators have come and gone during the years at Whitefield Academy, some with short tenures and others still there after 20 years of service, collectively they taught our children how to think on their own, to know the parts of speech and grammar so they could read and understand any text, to speak logically and to exhibit Christ like behaviour in their relationships.

We have absolutely loved our experience at Whitefield Academy. It is a phenomenal school where I can truly say they care about the well-being of every student. There is careful thought and intention behind every practice within the school. They go above and beyond to equip students with strong Christian principles while also providing an outstanding educational experience. We have been so impressed with Classical Christian Education and how well it prepares every student. This school has been an answer to prayer and a blessing to our family. I highly recommend it!

Whitefield Academy is a gem of a school. The teachers care deeply for the students and guide them academically and spiritually. The community is close-knit and older students mentor younger students. The classical Christian curriculum teaches students to think deeply and critically and communicate compassionately. Sending our children to Whitefield has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. I recommend this school 100%!

We are entering our second year at Whitefield Academy and have made the decision to bring both of our kids here. We have found that the school is VERY well run and was lead exceptionally well through the pandemic. The teachers we have had have all been exceptional. They have treated our child with love and he loves going to school here. People choose schools for different reasons, and a parochial school even more so. That being said, we chose Whitefield for the academic rigor, classical educational philosophy, small class sizes, and character focus. We have been more than pleased with all of those points and the experience has met or exceeded our expectations. As a family of minority background, having a sense of inclusiveness, openness is very important to us. We've found the school to be inclusive, welcoming, academically rigorous, safe, and well-run.

We have been at the school for 8 years. My three children love their school and teachers. It is a real gem. A wonderfully run school compared with other private schools we have been a part of. Their classical approach to education is wonderfully refreshing. Honestly, we feel so excited to be a part of this school community. They are constantly adding new programs and classes. My kids can't wait for school to start at the end of every summer.

We have been at Whitefield for 7 years! My kids love it! They interact with kids from all the grade levels. They learn character vs all curriculum. The teachers love each child as their own, which as a mom is comforting. It is a smaller school (no more than 20 in a classroom), but is Pre-K - 12th. I've seen several occasions where a child is interested in a particular club and they meet with the Headmaster and get approval to start their club. They then gather friends & peers that want to join them & get a parent/teacher involved. It's learning about real life & working for your vision! People comment on how well behaved the children are, as well as, the quality of questions asked during field trips. Any time there is an issue, it is encouraged to be discussed and a solution obtained. In a parent's opinion, this is an excellent education option.
