School Reviews

All six of my children graduated from Warner. I am so grateful my wife and I chose to place them in This school. The academics, student teachers ratio and the cost was excellent. All of my children that attended college excelled and I think WCA was a big reason why.

We put two children through WCA from PreSchool through 12th. We had a great experience. No school is perfect, but for us, this was a great decision!

I hope your family is as blessed by WCA as mine has been. We tried the local public high school and pulled our oldest out of there after a semester and put him in Warner. This school is a much friendlier, wholesome, and supportive environment. It's big enough to still have good offerings, but small enough to have a great student to teacher ratio. Our youngest is in the Discovery Program, which is an amazing program to help students who need extra support in learning. I have never seen a program like this in a private school! They are way more interested in truly helping kids than admitting only the top kids to improve their overall test scores, as many private schools do.

Our son went to Warner Christian Ad, 1980's and he loved it I was a teacher's helper. I was wondering what the cost of the school was at that time? I have lost our records, but our son is asking.. (Donald D Adams Jr ) thank you Penelope Adams Mother
