IMPRESSIVE COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Furthermore, our senior class is awarded approximately $6.5 million in merit-based college scholarship money annually, recognizing the exceptional achievements of our students.
CHRISTIAN VALUES AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
We believe education is not just about academics but also about developing character and nurturing spiritual growth. As a Christian school, we integrate biblical principles into every aspect of our curriculum and school life. We strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment where students can grow in their faith, develop strong moral values, and become responsible and compassionate adults that impact the world around them for Christ.
ENGAGING EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
In addition to our rigorous academic program, Wesleyan Christian Academy offers a variety of extracurricular activities to enrich students’ experiences and foster their interests. We provide opportunities for participation in sports, fine arts, clubs, community service, and leadership development. These activities help students develop teamwork, leadership skills, and a well-rounded personality.
DEVELOPING A SERVANT’S HEART
At Wesleyan Christian Academy, we believe in instilling a sense of service and compassion in our students. Through various community outreach programs and service opportunities, we empower our students to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Our curriculum and extracurricular activities foster a spirit of giving back, teaching students the importance of serving their community with humility and love.

InDIVIDUALIZED ACADEMICS
We offer a highly competitive college preparatory curriculum that includes honors courses, Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and online dual enrollment offerings. In addition, we provide academic support through our Enrichment Center to assist students diagnosed with mild to moderate learning disabilities. Whether your child needs an additional challenge or extra support, Wesleyan has academic programming to fit your child’s needs.
COLLEGE COUNSELING
Wesleyan Christian Academy’s College Counseling Office is your high school student’s one-stop resource for navigating their academic journey. From selecting high school courses to researching colleges and exploring career interests, our Director of College Counseling provides expert guidance. We assist with standardized testing, essay writing, applications, financial aid, and transcript requests, ensuring each student is well-prepared for their future college and career path.
CURRICULAR ELECTIVES
Each semester, high school students can choose from more than 20 electives that align with their interests and set them up for future success. View our extensive Curriculum Guide for additional information. Is your student interested in the performing arts? They can choose band, chorus, drama, theatre technology, and more. Interested in media? Maybe they’d like to try digital media and design or work on the journalism or yearbook staff. Do they need to focus on something particular, like SAT prep, study hall, or service learning? No matter their passion or calling, they’ll have the chance to explore, discover, and create.
EXTENSIVE PROGRAMMING & ATHLETICS
From athletics and performing arts, to international missions trips, Wesleyan students area engaged in a wealth of activities, clubs, and organizations that spark innovation, creativity, and activity. Wesleyan provides ample opportunities for leadership roles, individual spiritual development, and travel experiences. Our graduates are well-rounded, grounded in their faith, prepared for college, and equipped to influence the world around them.
Students are required to obtain written teacher recommendations before enrolling in any AP (Advanced Placement) or Honors course. If a teacher does not recommend a course a student wishes to take, the student’s parent may submit a request to the appeals committee through the course registration sheet, asking for enrollment without a teacher recommendation. If the principal approves, a note will be added to the student’s permanent record indicating the placement was made without a recommendation. The student must remain enrolled in the course for the full academic year. If the student chooses to drop the course, the school’s “dropping classes” policy will apply.
With parent permission, a student may make needed schedule changes during the first ten days of school. After that, the only changes that will be approved will be those in which a student is experiencing academic difficulty and needs to move to a less rigorous level of that particular subject area (for example, a move from Honors Algebra II to College Prep Algebra II).
Contact the Director of College Counseling (Michelle Ledbetter) to obtain an official Wesleyan Christian Academy transcript. Please note: A student’s financial accounts must be up-to-date for transcripts to be released.
Being involved in school enhances a student’s personal growth, leadership skills, and sense of community while fostering teamwork and lifelong friendships.

Campus Safety
A Safe Place to Learn and Grow
You can take comfort in knowing that safety is a top priority on our K-12 campus, located in the heart of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad area.
Although all of our students are located on the same campus and under one roof, each school program has a dedicated area on our campus for its students. Safety measures include two full-time police officers, indoor/outdoor camera surveillance, secure entry points, and a parent/visitor check-in and screening process. We also participate in critical incident drills, weather emergency drills, and we are proud of our dedicated and trained, first responder team.
