Grow With Us

at Weddington Christian Academy! 

For more than two decades, Weddington Christian Academy has offered an academically rigorous, faith-based education to students in JK through 8th grade. We are thrilled to announce that WCA is embarking on an exciting, new journey of expansion. In addition to opening new classes in the JK through 8th grades, WCA will launch its first high school class. Starting with 9th grade in the fall of 2024, Weddington Christian Academy will offer an additional grade each year, with our first graduation scheduled for 2028. As with our current program, the new high school will be dually accredited by ACSI and Cognia. 

To learn more about WCA’s expansion plans, please join us on Thursday, November 2, in the Family Life Center at 7:00 pm. We hope that you will share our vision for raising the next generation of Christian leaders! In all things, it is our desire that our students “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

Each rehearsal will include an active improv game and practice for our performance. Performers must be able to attend all or most of the rehearsals. 

WHO: The first eleven 5th-8th grade students who sign up

WHEN: Practices will be every M, T, Th, F from Nov 27 - Dec 14

PRACTICE TIME: 2:45 - 4:00 pm.
