Westminster Christian Academy is one of the greatest schools of all time. Coming from a current…read morestudent there, I say that it has one of the most beautiful communities of any school I' ve been to (and I've been to 7 different schools in my life). Not only do the teachers actually know what they're teaching, but they care about you. If they notice that something is up, they'll come talk to you to see if you're okay. In addition to those 2 points, WCA has fantastic sports options and coaches. These coaches bring out the best in people, they know what they're coaching and they don't just do it for a paycheck. The students and staff here and just out-of-this-world fantastic. I would absolutely recommend WCA to any family, not just christians, because I came to westminster not having really any faith, and now I am a lot more confident in my faith with Jesus Christ. If you're still reading, know that God loves you and has a plan for you.

Not sure which of my teachers are left, but look for Larry Hays and Shiela McCarthy. Both are outstanding.

I am definitely considering sending my children to this school.

I attended Whitfield School from 7th grade until I graduated high school and I must say that as…read moremuch as I love to hate it, I did get a damn good education while attending. The faculty was young and innovative in their teaching methods, which pushed me to think critically and be an individual regardless of peer disapproval. The facilities were unlike any other high school I have seen, clean, up to date, and just top-notch all around! The administration was a bit troublesome at times because I felt that the school was more of a corporation rather than a educating establishment. While attending I had many mixed feelings regarding the entire school but now that I am in college I feel that I was blessed and lucky to have been able to attend such a fine school. The people, however, were all the same. And when I say the same I mean the same upper-middle class kids who sport designer labels and conservative ideologies of their parents. Being the free-spirit I am, I found it extremely difficult to "fit in" one single group because of my liberal values. I felt that there was not enough diversity and many of the students tended to be extremely close minded because of that. All in all, the school is great (the parties were on par as well, Ha) and if you are able to take a tour of the buildings you will know exactly why I think so highly of the place.

I am 74 years old and love high school football.

Is was truly an awful moment. Been to at least 100 high school games all over the state and never, not once, did any school play blasting music before and during the game. I could not even talk to my companion because of the extremely loud and obnoxious music. I know you will say, well, we asked the kids and they said they liked it No surprise, but how about asking them and they liked no music and the ability to at least talk to their fellow students? Awful experience to say the least and, again, attended about 100 games in my life and never ever seen or heard such distracting atmosphere at a game. Please no music in the future.

There is a strong emphasis on education for all and not just those well-off or only the best and brightest. That's a major reason I decided to initially go here. The current campus was donated by the Novelly Family with their old residence now used as offices and a residence for some of the current Brothers. From start to finish, the campus was built in under 2 years. It now boasts a state-of-the-art track and field, a world-class theater, and sizable classrooms with wireless internet available throughout the complex. Technology was a centerpiece in the new building. Each room features a SmartBoard and computers are issued to each and every student to use for their studies.

He was a SS teacher but also taught about 10 students how to fly/obtain our private pilot's license. He was the best teacher/influence I've ever had in my life. Unfortunately, in 10th grade, you don't really realize it at the time. However, the man changed my life. I became a teacher because of him. He helped develop a passion in me about flight and aerobatic flight. He was such a decent, caring man even when he made me take the Cessna 152 to 5,000 feet to practice stall/spin recovery. I was never more scared in my life. "Aluminum tastes like fear (R.E.M.)." Thank you, Mr. Leroy Walters. You changed my life and I wanted you to know.

I've had several friends find raw meat, hairs, and even one found an acrylic nail in their food. I personally have gotten food poisoning a few times and got sick from raw chicken once. The discipline system needs to be better. So many kids here that just do a lot of mischief and the teachers can't handle it all, I hope they get more support there. I had many issues with the discipline system here that I won't get into, but a lot of the time I didn't feel very loved here. Only a few adults really ever tried to help me become better or help with the situations at hand but it didn't solve the problems either for a very long time or ever. Some good things- the majority of teachers here are very sweet, love to teach, and have great teaching models. They really try to make sure every student is succeeding in their classes and put out good ideas and encourage learning, even though not all students respect that and abuse it. The trips are fantastic, especially the Israel and Class trips, Israel trip personally changed my outlook on life a lot and I loved it. If you're a Christian Scientist they actively put a lot of CS material into the curriculum and everyday life. If you're not a Christian Scientist, might not be so great. They also just built a huge new sports complex that's awesome. But overall, school is okay, doing better. Hopefully the new management can steer it in the right direction.

Our…read moredaughters began when they were 3- and 4 year old respectively and despite English is not their first language, we are impressed how quickly our kids learned their alphabets, counting forward and backward, and holding a pencil! Our 4 year old daughter learned to write her name within 2-3 weeks starting at Harper! Our 3 year old daughter resisted our attempts to teach her how to properly hold a pencil at home but Harper was able to accomplish this! Harper serves a lot of physician and health care professional families working nearby at MoBap and Mercy, so they are less likely to cancel school days (for snow) compared to the local public schools. The heads of school surprisingly know the students very well, they are both very involved in all the classrooms with all the students and teachers, and also have a personal connection with the families, which contributes to an inclusive, warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment. Even though English is not our children's first language, Harper miraculously over came their language barrier to help our daughters feel loved and included and drops off became happier and less tearful. Harper undoubtedly has a strong and successful academic curriculum but most impressive is their cohesive and nurturing environment because our kids feel safe, loved, and seen. Thank you Harper!!
