School Notes
- Westside Christian Academy opened its doors in the fall of 1996 with the vision of providing an excellent academic program, presented from a biblical wordview. Our program includes Bible, math, grammar, literature, science, history, Latin, physical education, and the dramatic arts including choir, music theory, art, and drama; all of which either meet or exceed the standards set forth by the Ohio Department of Education. The challenging curriculum integrates the philosophy of the classical education and our small class size ensures that each student receives individualized attention on a daily basis. WCA's philosophy embodies the concept that education is more than just academics; it also involves character development and spiritual formation which enables children to fulfill God's will in their lives.
