Hello! My name is Gracie. I am 16 years old and this is my second year at Western Christian Academy. I chose the school because of the Christian values and variety of courses. I plan on going into acting for film and television as well as learning about production and directing. One of the main reasons I like being homeschooled is because it gives me the flexibility to work at the campground in the summer months and travel in the winter months. I am very thankful for the help and encouragement that I receive from Western Christian Academy! I love my school, and I love my teachers!

Electives
Western Christian Academy offers accredited online distance learning elective courses for
part-time and full-time students in 8th – 12th grade.
Western Christian Academy offers a variety of elective courses that allow your student to explore subjects for college and career preparation or that pique their interest. Christian Academy partners with curriculum providers to offer courses in film and leadership. These courses augment our online electives of historical eras, literature, advanced math, science, geography, health, and wellness. Our college preparatory course of study is designed to prepare students for entrance into most universities and colleges. Because each college or university has its own specific entrance requirements, you will want to consult with your chosen school and our high school counselor to customize an academic program to meet the requirements of that institution.
