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

WCA is a beautiful private school. The main focus is to teach our beautiful children God's word while teaching other curriculums. For example when your child starts 1st grade they will learn how to write in cursive and they will have spelling tests every week. They don't do that in public schools anymore. My daughter has been going to WCA for 2 years now and she is thriving with honor rolls. The AP courses your child is available to is amazing so when they graduate they're one step ahead for college. They don't teach common core. Only 25 students per class helps the teachers focus on each and every
