School Notes Overview: |
Whitefield Academy, a Christ-centered college preparatory school, exists to bolster Christian families in rearing young people who go on to college and life with a passion for learning, for others ahead of self, and for the living and active Jesus. Whitefield is called to serve the family; therefore, our teachers are mentors who are trained to accommodate a wide range of learning needs and strengths for college bound children. Whitefield Academy is called and stands for Covenantal education where the faculty, administrators, board, and parents form a partnership in Christ to educate and discipline children with joy and grace—without legalism, to evangelize students who do not know Christ and to disciple those who do believe into a deeper walk with Him. Our goal is to attain noteworthy excellence that is demonstrated in Whitefield students’ lives, so that Whitefield can serve as a replicable model that could be used, all or in part, by Christians across the United States.
