Waxahachie Prep does an awesome job of preparing the kids for college. The classes are taught by people that make time for each student and they really have a desire to see everyone succeed. My kids have learned real life lesson that are not taught in large schools such as reconciliation with peers, conversing really well with adults at a young age.

Very good school, teachers are nice, administration is very good. Education system is exceptional for the area. I would like to see more linguistics and after school activities.

We have had three children at WPA from elementary through graduation. After 15 years of being at the school we would not educate our children any other way. The combination of a unapologetically Christian environment, Godly teachers, and extra time with our children could not be found in any other model.

Waxahachie Preparatory Academy is such a blessing for us! Our daughter has excelled. As a parent, I love everything about the school. We have to drive 40 minutes to get there, and it is worth it!

I have been a parent at WPA for 4 years now. It has been such a blessing to my family! My daughter will be going into the 4th grade next year and my son will be going into 1st. Since my daughter has been here I have seen how the University-Model really works! She has become so independent over the l...
