Lower School Campus (K to 5)

Over 10 years ago, a vision for Christian education was born in prayer. This vision became a reality when Westminster Classical Christian Academy was founded in the heart of the city of Toronto, one of the most secular cities in the world.

Toronto, once “The City of Churches,” is now a spiritual and intellectual wasteland. But despite the decay of the society around us and the persistent opposition to traditional forms of education and Christianity itself, our school continues to thrive.

God has given us a special place at the centre of our city—a place where His name is honoured and students are taught to value what is good, beautiful, and true. It is a rare gift in these times. And our school is so precious to our families that some of them drive hours each day so that their children may be counted among its students.

FAQs

Why should I consider sending my child to WCCA?

WCCA has a strong academic program, a serious approach to character formation, and a nurturing, warm, and structured atmosphere. To see this at work, consider visiting our school and having your child shadow his or her prospective class.

How is WCCA distinct from other Christian private schools?
WCCA employs a time-honoured classical model of education, through which students master the skills of reading well, writing well, speaking well, and thinking well. Subject areas are taught in an integrated manner, giving students a broader and deeper understanding of God’s world.
Is WCCA a member of any associations?
WCCA is a member of the Association of Classical Christian Schools International (ACCSI) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
What is the student-teacher ratio at WCCA?
The student-teacher ratio is approximately 12:1.
Where in the city do students come from?
Students come to WCCA from all across the city—from Etobicoke to Scarborough—and even from other parts of the GTA, including Oakville, Ajax, and Caledon.
Considering WCCA is an urban school, where do students enjoy the outdoors?
WCCA students have daily opportunities to explore nature and enjoy the outdoors. Our classes frequently visit High Park, which is a 10-minute walk and a 5-minute streetcar ride away. Students play in the fenced-in area beside the school for their shorter recess and walk to a local park for their longer recess.
Does WCCA offer bursaries?
WCCA is committed to providing need-based financial aid to qualifying families.
Do you provide after school care?
Yes, after-care is provided from 3:30 pm to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday. The cost is $12/hour per child.
Is WCCA aligned with a specific denomination and/or theology?
WCCA is a ministry of Westminster Chapel at High Park, a member of the Federation of Evangelical Baptists. The church’s theological perspective may be described as reformed. However, the school’s families come from across the spectrum of orthodox Christian communities of faith.
Can I volunteer at the school?
Yes! WCCA loves parent volunteers. All of our volunteers must have an up to date “Vulnerable Sector Check” in order to participate in school activities. Volunteer roles open to parents include field trip chaperones, leaders of classroom story times, and directors of afterschool programs such as chess, a running club, or musical instrument lessons. Volunteers are also welcome to help with special events like the school’s Spring Musical.
Does WCCA conduct any standardized testing?

Yes. WCCA students in Grades 6 through 8 take the Classical Learning Test (CLT) every year.
