Rating 5 out of 5 I have 4 kids that attend this school, this year being their second year in. They were originally homeschooled. The transition was rocky at first, but not because of the school itself. The teachers noticed their struggles before I could and immediately jumped into action to help them, emotionally and mentally. I would recommend this school over and over again. My kids are now THRIVING in their academics and their spiritual lives. Amazing faculty and staff who put their best interest first above all else.

My children went to another Private School in the area and once my oldest graduated from there she decided to attend WCA-Opelousas. Within 2 months of this change in schools, she became confident, outgoing, and more faithful. She has learned more academically and faithfully than she had in all the previous years at the previous school. My other 2 children have also made the switch to WCA and now all 3 have all become more faithful, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Thanks to WCA I have happy, educated, and outgoing, thoughtful children who now enjoy going to school.
