Guiding Students with Faith, Excellence, and Care

Welcoming Grades 6-8 to our Private Middle School

As a parent, you want your middle schooler to be challenged academically, supported emotionally, and grounded in strong Christian values — all in an environment where they feel safe, seen, and encouraged to grow. But finding a school that offers both academic excellence and a nurturing, faith-centered community can be difficult.

At Wake Christian Academy, we understand the unique needs of middle school students and the concerns of their parents. Our private middle school in Raleigh, NC is designed to help students thrive during these pivotal years. With a rigorous academic curriculum, compassionate teachers, and a strong emphasis on biblical truth, we partner with families to nurture students’ hearts and character.

Whether your child began their journey with us in kindergarten or you’re just beginning to explore the benefits of a private Christian school, Wake Christian Academy is here to provide the guidance, support, and Christ-centered education your family needs.

Growing in Character & Integrity

Middle school is an important season of identity development. During these years, pre-teens are asking themselves big questions like:

“Who am I?”
“Where do I belong?”
“What is my purpose in life?”

At WCA, students are taught their identity is in Jesus Christ and to embrace the diversity of all disciples of Jesus Christ in the universal church. Students are intentionally guided as they develop a biblical worldview and discover their God-given gifts. Our Christian character development initiatives are centered around Biblical values, building positive friendships, preventing bullying, and how to apply scriptural wisdom to resolve conflicts. This fosters a culture of respect where students learn to become young men and women of integrity in their thoughts, actions, speech, relationships and work.

Developing Gifts & Talents

Middle school is the prime time to try new things. Students begin to identify their God-given talents to be used for His glory. We encourage students to get involved in extracurricular activities and electives, find out what they love, and build friendships based on shared interests. We offer 12 team sports at the middle school level and a variety of opportunities for students to showcase their artistic talents through classes and annual performances.

 

Preparation for the Road Ahead

WCA middle schoolers expand their biblical knowledge through the integration of Scripture in all subject areas. Weekly chapels and occasional mission outreach projects build a strong spiritual foundation and equip students for lives of service. As middle school students explore their callings, events such as class trips and assemblies provide inspiration for the opportunities ahead.
