Please note these are not all-inclusive calendars. Always check the Google Calendar for additional events, updates and detailed information.
Re-Enrollment for 2024-2025
It is now time to secure your child's placement for the 2024-2025 school year. Our current enrollment is at or near capacity in many grades, so we encourage you to reserve your child’s placement for next year. Open spaces will be made available to prospective families beginning February 1. We have a record number of applicants, so it is critical for you to secure your spot now.
Please see the State of the School publication which includes important updates about WCA and information regarding re-enrollment. I encourage each parent to take time to read the attached publication. You may also find the attendance calendar for the 2024-2025 school year.
Thank you for your partnership with Westminster Christian Academy! Should you have questions regarding the re-enrollment process, please contact Laura Briscoe. lbriscoe@wcalions.org
