Current Happenings

West Suburban Christian Academy (WSCA) is a private, independent, non-denominational, evangelical Christian school; consisting of preschool through eighth grade. We are not affiliated with any particular church. Approximately 40 area churches are represented in our parent families.

Phil and Mary Ann Lee were instrumental in founding West Suburban Christian Academy in 1979 as Sonshine Christian School. It began with 33 students and three teachers. West Suburban Christian Academy purchased Waukesha's Northview School in 1995 with 99 students from kindergarten through eighth grade. In the fall of 1997, the 3- and 4-year old preschool program was added. In April 2004, a 22,000 square foot building and 6.5 acres were purchased. During the summer the building was renovated to include eight classrooms, a science lab, media center, administrative offices, and commons areas. Known as the Silvernail campus, this building serves as our middle school. At this time West Suburban Christian Academy has over 300 students with a staff of more than 40.

West Suburban Christian Academy is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). ACSI is the largest accrediting agency for Christian schools in the world. It provides current information about Christian education and offers training courses for teachers and administrators at its annual national convention.

WSCA teachers have a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree. Teacher's aides assist where needed. All teachers have acknowledged a sincere faith in Jesus Christ.

West Suburban Christian Academy desires to create an optimal learning environment, based upon academic excellence that compliments the Christian home. WSCA strives to promote an atmosphere where students learn to live their lives for Christ, develop their character and achieve their highest potential in Him. We strive to provide the best educational experience for every student.

Christian heritage is reinforced through curriculum and committed Christian teachers, and through corporate worship with a chapel service on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning. Prayer and music accompany our staff and area pastors who open the Word of God to students and faculty.

West Suburban Christian Academy is truly for those parents who are deeply interested in their child's education. WSCA’s curriculum is designed to include parents in their child's academic studies. Therefore, WSCA parents know what is being taught to their child. There are also opportunities for parental involvement in special school functions, such as room parents, office helpers, playground monitors, and hot lunch helpers, etc.

The Academy’s Board of Directors consists of 9 to 12 individuals with limited terms. There are four standing committees: Advancement, Education, Business Operations, and Students/Families & Extra Curricular Activities, where parents are encouraged to volunteer.
