WCA combines academic excellence with a distinctly Christian educational environment.

We value relationships between students and teachers, flexibility for families, and an education grounded in biblical truth. Our goal is not simply to help students complete academic requirements, but to help prepare young people to live with wisdom, character, purpose, and faith.

At WCA, we believe faith and academic excellence can—and should—walk together.

Christian faith is an essential part of the identity and mission of Waco Christian Academy.

We believe education involves more than acquiring knowledge. Students should also grow in wisdom, character, responsibility, and their understanding of God’s truth. Our Christian worldview influences the way we teach, lead, serve students, and partner with families.

We are very proud of the teachers who serve at Waco Christian Academy. Our teachers bring valuable classroom experience to their roles, and our core academic classes are taught by fully credentialed teachers.

Just as importantly, our teachers understand that Christian education is about more than academics. They have the opportunity to invest in students personally and spiritually while helping them pursue academic excellence.

We believe excellent teachers are one of the most important investments we can make in our students.

Families’ circumstances and educational needs can change. Choosing Waco Christian Academy does not mean that you are closing the door to other educational options in the future.

Waco Christian Academy is an accredited school. This means that if you later decide to transfer your child to a public school or another accredited school, your child’s academic transcripts and records can transfer with them, just as they would when transferring from another accredited school.

Our goal is to provide families with both a high-quality Christian education and confidence in the academic record their student is building.

We believe every Christian family deserves access to an affordable, excellent education—without compromising either quality or faith.

For the 2026–2027 school year, full-time tuition for students in grades 7–12 is $4,200 per year, with a flexible 10-month payment plan available.

That is approximately $5,300 less per year than the average tuition for private schools in Kentucky.

How are we able to keep tuition affordable? Waco Christian Academy is supported by people who believe in our mission and invest generously in our students.

During the 2025–2026 school year:

61.3% of WCA’s budget was provided through donations and fundraising.

38.7% was provided through tuition and fees.

In other words, tuition covers less than half of the actual cost of operating WCA. The generosity of churches, individuals, businesses, families, and other partners helps us keep Christian education accessible while continuing to invest in academic quality.

Part-time, homeschool supplemental, and other educational opportunities have different costs. Contact us and we would be glad to discuss the options available for your family.

We still encourage you to contact us.

Families’ circumstances can change during the year, and sometimes parents begin looking for different educational options after school has already started. Depending on space, courses, and the student’s circumstances, options may still be available.

Don’t assume it is too late. Talk with us and let us help you explore your options.

The best way to find out is to have a conversation with us.

Every student and every family is different. Tell us about your student’s academic needs, interests, goals, challenges, and the type of educational environment you are looking for. We can explain the options WCA offers and help you determine whether one of them may be a good fit.

Contact Waco Christian Academy and tell us a little about your student and what you are looking for.

Whether you are considering full-time Christian education, part-time enrollment, homeschool support, dual-credit opportunities, or simply exploring your options, we would be glad to talk with you.

Your student’s education is an important decision. You don’t have to figure out all the options alone. Let’s talk.
