Upper School Campus (6 to 8)
Located at the historic Olivet Baptist church on Margueretta Street, the WCCA Upper School Campus opened in September 2024. Emphasis at the Upper School is placed on the continued search for, and acquisition of, wisdom and virtue; a developed athletic program; and resultant growth in knowledge and character development, all of which stem from a Christian understanding of who our students are created to be. The desired outcome is a young man or woman with a vision of the world strong enough to withstand the challenges of secularist society, who is fully alive to the glory of God, cognizant of His gifts, and keen to use them to serve Him and others.
