Preparing Your Teen for a Bright Future
Explore our Private High School for Grades 9-12
As your teen enters high school, you’re faced with important decisions about their education and future. You want them to:
- Excel academically
- Be prepared for college or career
- Pursue their talents and interests
- Grow into a confident, compassionate young adult
But you also long for a learning environment that reinforces the values you’ve instilled at home — one that nurtures their faith, character, and purpose.
At Wake Christian Academy, we offer more than just rigorous academics. Our private high school in Raleigh, NC, provides a Christ-centered education that equips students to succeed in all areas of life.
With dedicated teachers, challenging coursework, exciting extracurriculars, and a focus on biblical truth, we prepare students not only for academic achievement but also for a lifelong walk with Christ.
Rigorous and Tailored Academic Offerings
Our curriculum is designed so that each student can explore their own interests and prepare for the future the Lord desires for them. While we offer courses from three academic tiers–College Preparatory, Honors, and Advanced Placement–students are able to choose from any or all academic levels based upon personal interests, faculty recommendations, and academic qualifications.
At WCA, students are encouraged to take ownership of their education and pursue opportunities they are passionate about, such as biotechnology, a hands-on class that introduces students to DNA analysis and forensics. We believe students that start here can go anywhere.
Academic Course Options
- College Preparatory — For all students who wish to pursue a four-year degree after high school but may be unsure about their desired program of study.
- Honors Track — For students who wish to challenge themselves with rigorous, in-depth coursework and/or pursue admission to a competitive university.
- Advanced Placement — For highly motivated students who wish to take college-level courses and potentially shave time off their four-year degree.
- AP® Courses: Music Theory, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Computer, Physics 1 & 2, Biology, Spanish, Language & Composition, Literature & Composition, US History, Psychology
- Dual Enrollment – Students earn college credit while in high school through partnerships with state and private universities.
Spiritual Development
High school is about much more than preparing students for college; it is about preparing them for life. At WCA, teachers integrate Scripture in every subject area, allowing upper schoolers to strengthen their Biblical worldview. Students also have Bible class daily, chapel service weekly, and numerous missions opportunities throughout the year. A few of these include:
- Volunteering at Samaritan’s Purse in Boone, NC
- Traveling to San Lucas, Guatemala, to serve at Oasis Children’s Home
- Serving in small groups with Child Evangelism Fellowship
Extracurricular Activities
Athletics, fine arts, clubs, and electives allow students to hone their God-given skills, develop friendships based on shared interests, and receive mentorship from our dedicated coaches and staff. These activities provide a strong sense of school spirit and help students make lifelong memories on campus.
