Since 1978
WCA has served families in Wanchese and the Outer Banks for more than four decades.
About WCA
A small school with a clear purpose.
Wanchese Christian Academy provides an academically sound education from a biblical perspective and in a Christ-centered environment.
Our mission
Know the student. Teach the truth. Make room to grow.
WCA is built around the belief that students learn best when they are known, encouraged, and taught to see their work in light of biblical truth.
That work happens in a school community where teachers can give individual attention, families are welcomed, and education reaches beyond the textbook.
K4 through 12th grade
Students can grow through elementary, middle, and high school in one connected community.
More than a classroom
Chapel, physical education, field trips, the arts, and school traditions are part of the week.
Life at WCA
A school day has more than one kind of lesson.
Students take part in chapel, physical education, field trips, talent shows, book fairs, plays, awards, and other events that bring the school together.
The best parts are often the ordinary ones: a teacher noticing a student’s progress, a class solving a problem together, or a family becoming part of the school community.
