There are not enough words to describe this disfunctional school and leadership. I’ll use one word. RUN!

I would like to ask the individual who spoke out about waiting weeks to speak with the administration/Superintendent to call anytime ((321) 259-6788) and set up an appointment. It does not and never has taken weeks. The current superintendent will see any parent, anytime, and usually on the same or next day. Rumors and hearsays do not make the school better - parental involvement does. Please reach out with any and all concerns. The superintendent does listen and acts in a positive, Christ-like manner,

This school is unaccredited and going downhill fast. No one knows whats going on there, and parents are kept in the dark. They have preachers, church staff and the maintenance man teaching classes. Glad I pulled my boys.

BEWARE of this school! The school is a danger to the students and staff! The school is NOT accredited and teachers do NOT have degrees to teach. BEWARE!!!!!

The Preschool at WCA is wjat brought us here. We have 2 older kids and the school has been amazing for them too. Put youngest child is learning so much and the staff is like family. They really love our kids. The director really cares about all of the kids and I can't wait for next year because my older child will be able to play sports in 5th grade. We have been invited to church and will go but hopefully the people at church are as kind as the people at school.

Great school with teachers who invest in the students not only academically but Spiritually. The Principal, Dr Wynn, really cares and goes above and beyond to help each student succeed in life. They also have a tutoring program that helps those students who may struggle academically or may need a little extra help succeeding in school. Would definitely recommend Wade!

Wow and we thought WCA was surely going to be safe as opposed to public school. We were so Wrong! We took are kids out after a few months. My youngest was in good hands with her teacher. But was still exposed to things she should not see in a Christian school, and I use that term lightly. In the upper school I witnessed and my lower school child did too, girls making out during pick up, blue and purple hair, short skirts, vulgar language, racial slurs N word common. My kids who are black, complained daily of the racial attacks by other kids, and my son reported it to the principle on several occasions, who was very dismissive. We are white adoptive parents, so we are not on the everyone is against us train, this racism here was shockingly real. We met with the principle a few times and found my kids to be accurate about his dismissive attitude about any of our concerns. My kids reported the students in their study hall were looking at porn because the teacher left them alone so he could go shoot hoops in the gym. We also found that my daughter had on her phone, date stamped ghetto rap she looked up and watched at school. Of course she snuck her phone to school, but there was a lack of supervision during typing class. We told the principle and the teacher actually punished my daughter and stated my daughter almost got her fired. Even during the b ball season, the coach played the same 5 or 6 kids in every game, not based on talent, but those kids had a mother that was very involved in the school and 1 was a teacher at wca. Upon initially touring the school, we were told, no prom or dancing to sexual of event, strict uniform guidelines, no artificial hair colors, no dating behavior at school, zero tolerance for harassment, no liberal agenda, no racial problems, no bullying, teachers all proved Christians, confirmed everything in the handbook, so We thought everything would be wholesome as could be in a Christian environment, not the case at all in our opinion. Anything goes here, and my kids are not angels, but some of the stuff they saw here actually corrupted them. In all honesty, we now have our daughter in counseling as we believe that what she saw at wca left a lasting impression in a bad way. I'm not trashing this school for any other purpose other than for the purpose of providing others our true assessment in order for them to protect their gifts from God. My high hopes for this school and any school other than home school r burst!
