Wake Christian Academy was established in 1966 and operates as a Biblically-based, Christ-centered Christian day school. It is a private, unaffiliated, board-governed, nonprofit institution which seeks to maintain high academic and spiritual standards. The school, consisting of kindergarten, elementary, middle school, and senior high school levels, is concerned with the spiritual as well as the intellectual growth of its students. Wake Christian Academy seeks to provide conditions whereby young people can receive the Truth. Our goal is to teach Christ through His Word, the Bible, in practical ways as well as in classroom instruction. The curriculum at Wake Christian Academy is chosen with much prayer and research. Nothing is to be presented to the students that could undermine their faith. All truth is God's truth; therefore, every subject taught must have biblical principles at its core.
