Grades 7–8

Junior high is a time of transition from self-contained elementary classrooms to a departmental approach. Students change classrooms following a high school bell schedule. Responsibilities and independent work increase as the faculty intentionally challenge the students with a demanding academic program. Junior high students enjoy a sense of community that encourages self-discovery, transparency, and Christian civility. By the time the students reach ninth grade, they should feel comfortable with the demands of high school.

Our athletic director, gymnasium and playing fields enhance the WCA after school sports program offered at the Junior High level. Competent coaches and mentors encourage the young athletes at all ability levels. Even unskilled but eager athletes can develop into valuable members of a chosen team.
