Inspiring all students to grow spiritually, academically, and athletically in a Christ-centered environment.
The WAY Academy is designed to provide a stellar Christian education to all levels of students, focusing on narrowing the achievement and opportunity gaps for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Our ultimate goal is to graduate the next generation of leaders, that are college and/ or career ready, and become high-functioning citizens in our community.
As TWA launches in August 2023, students will have an opportunity to master core courses like Math, English Language Arts (ELA), Science, History, and Bible. Elective classes that will challenge our students include physical education (PE), music, personal finance, art, and computer science.
Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young. Instead, set an example for the believers through your speech, behavior, love, faith, and self-control - 1 Timothy 4:12

Academics
At TWA we believe that athletic growth contributes to a physical and mentally healthy lifestyle, and highly encourage every student to compete in one or multiple sports that we offer. One of our goals is to train and prepare students for high school athletics, and beyond.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even the youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on the wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint. - Isaiah 40:29-31

The WAY Academy was established on the biblical principle that God gives parents the primary responsibility for educating their children. The school enters into a partnership with parents and Christian educators to teach academics in the context of a Christian worldview. The WAY Academy’s policy is to offer enrollment to students of parents who desire a Bible-based education with academic excellence for their children. The WAY Academy partners with families who want their children taught what it means to have a Christian lifestyle regarding personal and family relationships, such as demonstrating love for others, exhibiting a teachable spirit, and sharing the belief that biblical marriage is limited to a covenant relationship between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:4).
The WAY Academy reserves the right to select students and families on the basis of academic performance, Christian commitment, lifestyle choices, and personal qualifications, including a willingness to cooperate with our administration and policies. Therefore, The WAY Academy reserves the right, within its sole discretion, to refuse admission of an applicant or to discontinue the enrollment of a student on the basis of, but not necessarily limited to, the inability to support the moral principles of the school and/or the inability to maintain a lifestyle consistent with The WAY Academy statement of faith, mission, values, philosophies, and goals, and any related policies and procedures. (Romans 1:24-32, Galatians 5:19-21)
