The same board that over- sees the church oversees the academy.<\/p>\n<p>As a church-school, our mission at The Word of God Christian academy (WGCA) is to obey the Scriptures in Proverbs 22:6 to \u201ctrain up a child in the way he should go,\u201d Training for life must include training for eternity. We want to help parents do that. The Edu- cation Program (Math, English, Social Stud- ies, etc.) methods of motivation and inspira- tions at WGCA are dependent upon a Biblical philosophy to provide truth, principles and proper training for our children.<\/p>\n<p>ATTENDANCE AT WGCA is a privilege and<\/p>\n<p>not a right. The goal of WGCA is not to re- form, but to train young people (at their own individual level of learning to achieve in Chris- tian leadership, self-discipline, individual re- sponsibility, personal integrity, good citizen- ship, and respect for those in authority (Parents, School, Government, Etc.)<\/p>\n<p>Traditional Values, which are concepts consid- ered foundational to meaningful interpersonal relationships and productive living are con- veyed throughout the curriculum in such a way as to become life-changing influences. Students are taught to see life from God\u2019s point of view and to walk in wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>Academic excellence is produced by individu- alization.<\/p>\n<p>Character Development is training received as part of this learning experience and prepares students to welcome and accept challenges and future opportunities that come their way.<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, most schools look alike: build- ings, personnel, curriculum, and budgets. WGCA is different.<\/p>\n<p>Individualization: Whether the student is a high achiever or a moderate paced learner, the program WGCA offers begins at the exact level determined by the child\u2019s ability. This is what is meant by individualization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Word of God Christian Academy opened its doors in 2005 as a ministry of The Word of God Church when a group of con- cerned parents in the congregation expressed an interest in providing their children an op- portunity to receive a quality Christian edu- cation.
