Westminster Christian Academy offers a dual focus for education: academic preparedness and spiritual growth. Educational programs are designed to honor Jesus Christ by providing an excellent education grounded in biblical truth.
Serving grades 7-12, Westminster is accredited by Cognia and the Independent Schools Association of the Central States. Coursework includes a full spectrum of offerings, including college preparatory and advanced placement classes. Westminster also offers a Gifted Program to provide additional enriched course opportunities for gifted learners. And for students diagnosed with significant learning needs, the school provides an Extended Learning Center.
Extending opportunities far beyond the classroom, Westminster offers a Faith In Action service program that provides students with opportunities to serve in the community. Each grade level partners with a local agency to allow students to participate in service activities throughout the school year. Westminster seniors participate in Senior Service by serving at agencies in the community for two hours each Thursday.
Extra-curricular opportunities at Westminster abound, with academic teams and competitions in robotics, scholar bowl and debate, student leadership organizations, and unique clubs such as archery, cooking, fishing, gaming, and veterans & first responders club.
And for students who really want to expand their horizons, Westminster offers off-campus enrichment opportunities. Students can enjoy experiential learning trips to Badlands National Park, cultural immersion and service trips to Greece and South Korea, and language immersion experiences in France and Spain.
Whether in the classroom or traveling worldwide, the foundational goal of Westminster’s programs is to encourage students to learn and grow in knowledge, wisdom, and grace.

I had a great time at Westminster Christian Academy. I was involved in the performing arts department and received the theatre department scholar's award. The arts were a very strong suit for Westminster, and me being a member of that was amazing.

My time at WCA has been an excellent experience. This school went above and beyond to prepare me for college and offered many activities outside of the classroom that have greatly impacted my life.

I didn't like Westminster at all. I love that I made a few friends there and had some high quality teachers such as Mr. Wilkins, Mr. Davis, Mr. Breems, and Mrs Thompson and others. But I did not like the school itself, how things are done and the how some departments are lacking such as the Math, Science, and English Department.

The school provides very few social activities for high school students which would enable social and emotional growth. We did not find out until our children were enrolled that social events are the responsibility of the parents and the school would have no school sponsored dances or activities.

Very good and very fun I like it

We are so pleased that our two children will go into the world with the benefit of a Westminster education. We have a senior who just completed the 7th-12th grade journey who is headed to a Top 25 public university. He received a rigorous education from well-equipped and caring teachers who prepared...

The teachers are great! A huge push of social justice ideology. Sad to see a once good school going down this path. As a current parent, our family is very disappointed.
