Our dual credit program is designed to encourage students to complete their high school diploma while gaining college credits to put towards an associate or bachelor’s degree.
The WCA/CBS partnership provides high school students with the opportunity to get a head start on college-level coursework. This partnership allows students to take college courses while still in high school, providing them with a unique and valuable experience before they even graduate.
One of the benefits of this program is that it results in less overall coursework and a shortened educational timeline. This means that students are able to complete their high school studies in less time, as the dual credit courses offered through the partnership are only 7 weeks long.
In addition, taking college courses while still in high school can also improve a student’s overall GPA. This can be particularly beneficial for students who may be struggling in high school, as they have the opportunity to get a fresh start with college-level coursework.
The WCA/CBS partnership is also cost-effective, as students are able to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously, thereby saving time and money on their path to obtaining a higher education degree.
Finally, the flexible online delivery of the courses offered through this partnership allows for better time management and the ability to balance both high school and college coursework. This makes it possible for students to take courses from anywhere, at any time, providing them with the flexibility to fit their education into their busy schedules.
We understand that life is busy, but taking a few minutes to enroll now will save you time and stress in the long run. Plus, it’s a great way to show your child that you’re excited about their education. Contact us today!

Western Christian Academy is dedicated to assisting families, by providing quality academic programs from a Christian worldview, through individualized instruction and affordability.
In a world that strives to suffocate the light, it is a joyful sight when we bring light back into the world through the minds and hearts of our children. The education your child will receive at Western Christian Academy will train them for academic excellence and is centered on biblical truth.
Every person has a worldview and believes in something, but “why” do we believe it? A worldview is constructed by life influences and experiences that provide a lens through which the world is viewed and processed.
The Christian worldview is a biblical worldview, whereby life is filtered through the Bible. It determines how we interact with people by setting a standard of serving others (Romans 12-15; Galatians 5:22-26; Luke 10:25-37). It is an integral part of what we do, and who we are at Western Christian Academy. It provides purpose, hope, and an anchor to the process of fulfilling our mission. The Christian worldview is interwoven into all our curriculum. Therefore, learning at Western Christian Academy develops the whole individual both academically and spiritually. This provides “hope for today and tomorrow.”
Everyone has a style of learning and each of us learn at a different rate of speed dependent upon the subject. Our individualized curriculum guides a student through academic lessons at their own pace, giving them the chance to master concepts at their level of ability before moving on to more challenging lessons.
This foundational principle of Western Christian Academy sets us apart from the ideological theories of education and gets to the heart of education – developing life-long learners, one student at a time. Rather than curriculum based upon what is best for an entire class, we consider the individual student and think critically about how to best support that student right where they are, not where they should be chronologically. Placement tests inform us of the capability of the student by identifying “learning gaps” in their academics. Students are then provided with individualized curriculum at their functional level, which may or may not be at their academic level. A support team of teachers and counselors come alongside each student to ensure a strong foundation for achievement.
A pillar of Western Christian Academy is to provide an affordable private school education dedicated to academic excellence and character development to families who otherwise are unable to afford it. For over 41 years, this core value remains non-negotiable.
Western Christian Academy provides 4 different payment options with various applicable discounts that can be customized to work with any budget. We understand that budgets are tight for many families. This is just one reason why Western Christian Academy believes in consistency when it comes to tuition. Our goal is to maintain consistent tuition costs for a minimum of two years, thereby helping families to plan for their students’ education.
