Wheaton Academy was founded in 1853 and continues as one of the oldest and most respected private Christian high schools in America. WA is characterized by high academic standards, a mature student culture, opportunities for leadership, life-changing relationships with teachers, a beautiful 50-acre college-style campus, and state-of-the-art facilities. WA offers an aggressive traditional college preparatory curriculum, an innovative January term, and comprehensive co-curricular programs. Yet, the most important element in making a WA education effective is the strong leadership of “Living Curriculum Teachers," who have a growing and dynamic relationship with Christ; are excellent in their field; hold high standards; and are capable of inspiring a range of students to reach their potential.
