Western Christian Academy (WCA) and Barclay College have created an opportunity to allow WCA students to enroll in online coursework through Barclay College. Barclay has full accreditation, making credit transfers more acceptable. Barclay Accreditation

Taking college classes while in high school can afford a student many benefits, including cost savings, a shortened educational timeline, assessment of college-readiness, and an introduction to the rigors of higher education. The online learning format allows students to participate in college courses around ongoing obligations at WCA as well as at an institution that matches the values of WCA, the students and their families. Recognizing these benefits, the College and WCA have worked cooperatively to develop a partnership between the two institutions that would allow for the enrollment of qualified students into lower division (100- and 200-level) online courses with the College.
