The Mission

We develop students into servant leaders — because no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.

0%
of our teachers are certified
Indiana requires 80%. We don't do minimums.
What We Hold
I

Character before credentials.

The character of the person matters more than the paper on the wall. It's how we hire, and it's what we build in students.

II

No titles. No hierarchy. One community.

Nobody here is "the authority." Teachers, families, and staff pull the same direction — communally.

III

Disagree without dividing.

People should be able to disagree, not divide. Divided we fall. United we stand.

IV

Every child known by name.

One campus. Small classes. Your child is a person here — not an enrollment number in a portal.

What Makes Us Different

Every child can learn. We built the whole school on it.

Not a slogan — a design decision. Here is what it looks like in the classroom.

1

Classes capped at fifteen.

Fifteen students, maximum, every class, every grade. That isn't a perk on a brochure — it's the number that makes everything else on this list possible.

2

A curriculum that aims higher.

Rigorous material grounded in a Biblical worldview, taught by certified teachers — chosen for what it builds in a student, not for what a committee signed off on.

3

Teaching tailored to each student.

With fifteen students, a teacher can find how each child learns best — and teach that way. Students move faster because the instruction fits the child, instead of the child bending to fit the instruction.

4

Truly no child left behind.

Some need help in one area, some in another. Nobody coasts, and nobody gets written off. Every child is met where they are — and moved forward.

"It is fundamentally wrong to say a child can't learn. Any child can learn. It just takes someone willing to find how."

That conviction sits under everything here. The job of a school is not to decide which children get to learn — it's to find how each one does.

And to those who say a school like ours takes money from public schooling, we answer with Galatians 1:10: "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." We aim higher.

One ministry — from the nursery to the graduation stage.

We are not merely operating an educational institution. WCCA is one half of a dual-model ministry with a single aim: seamless, Christ-centered care from infancy through graduation — so your family has one continuous, biblically grounded partner the whole way up.

Here's the problem we solve. Most parents inherit a fragmented path: an infant in a secular daycare, a transition to a public preschool, then a search for a private Christian school for K–12 — three systems, three cultures, three sets of values. We unify all of it under one umbrella, with structural and spiritual continuity from the very outset.

"Spiritual formation over formalism: daily chapel is excellent, but real spiritual formation happens in the micro-moments."

That means staff trained to handle a playground conflict through a biblical reconciliation lens — not just a rulebook. It means a Biblical worldview woven into how history and science are actually taught, not quarantined in an isolated Bible class. The faith isn't a subject here. It's the frame.

Our People

Built by people who showed up.

Our teachers hold certifications because they choose to, not because a quota says so. Our leadership doesn't print titles on doors or degrees on letterhead — not because they don't have them, but because that's not what holds a school together.

"No one is the authority here. We're a community."

Our teachers bring close to a decade of classroom experience each — and stories worth telling. Meet them here this July.

Straight Answers

The four questions every family asks first.

What do I pay?
If you live in Indiana: nothing out of pocket. The Indiana Choice Scholarship covers tuition at WCCA, and starting with the 2026–27 school year there is no income cap — residency is the qualification. You fill out one application and we file it with the state for you. Full tuition is $6,800/yr; the state award covers it. See tuition →
How do I apply?
Online, in about five minutes — the application is right here — or in person at the school office. When you hit submit, your application goes straight to the school office inbox — a person reads it, not a system. Medical and emergency details are handled on paper at registration, so the online form stays short. Indiana residents: applying to WCCA and applying for the Choice Scholarship happen together; we handle the state side.
What happens after I apply?
Here’s exactly what to expect. Your application lands in the school office’s email, where our staff reviews it and processes it up the chain to the State of Indiana on your behalf. Approval is contingent on one thing: Indiana residency. If you live in Indiana, that’s the qualification — we walk the paperwork the rest of the way. Questions while it’s in motion? Call 812-853-3787 or email office@wcca.academy.
Year-round school… and that means more time off?
It sounds backwards, but yes. A year-round calendar doesn’t add school days — it takes the same school year and spreads it out, so instead of one long summer and a long stretch of burnout, families get breaks all through the year. Students come back rested more often, and parents get vacation windows when nothing is crowded. [Confirm WCCA’s exact calendar & break schedule before publishing specifics]
Church and school — why separate?
Because each does its job better that way. Warrick County Christian Academy is its own independent school — one of the few in the area not under a denomination — sharing a campus with its ministry partner, Gateway Baptist Church. In the classroom that means Scripture alone is taught; no denominational doctrine. Your family’s church stays your family’s church. The school answers to its own leadership and its ACSI accreditation, and the church remains a sanctuary — two callings, one building, no confusion about which is which.
Where does my information go?

Nowhere you didn’t send it. The honest version, in full:

This site shows no ads, runs no trackers or analytics, and sets no advertising cookies. Nothing here builds a profile of you or follows you around the internet. We have nothing about you unless you type it into the application or email us — and that information exists for exactly one purpose: enrolling your child.

We never sell your data. We never share it. Two honest exceptions, because pretending there are none would be a lie: the State of Indiana — only when you ask us to file your Choice Scholarship application — and the law, if it ever compels us.

Three companies physically carry the bytes, because a small school can’t run its own servers: Netlify hosts this site and delivers your form straight to us, Google hosts our school email, and Google Firebase delivers the words and photos on these pages so our office can keep them current without a programmer. To do its job, Firebase keeps a little working data in your browser. In simple terms: that’s machinery, not a tracking cookie — it doesn’t know who you are, it builds no profile, and it tells no one anything about you. That is the entire supply chain. We chose them; we can’t see inside their datacenters — no one who uses the internet can — so we do the thing that actually protects you: we collect as little as possible. Medical, insurance, and physician details never touch the internet at all — paper only, at in-person registration.

No one can honestly promise unbreachable security. Anyone who does is selling something. Our promise is smaller and true: minimal collection, single purpose, and any photo of a student appears only with a signed parental release you can revoke in writing at any time.
