The teachers here are amazing! They take time to know each student personally. Not only do they push us towards academic excellence, they also care about our faith and character development. I know that many of my teachers are praying for me and I can go to them when I need help.
Greta
Class of 2023
Wheaton Academy set me up for spiritual growth by giving me teachers and coaches that I can look up to as examples. The way they live their lives in light of Jesus’ love gives us students an example of how we can live our lives.
Peter
Class of 2022
Excellence at Wheaton Academy isn’t just about the success that comes from being really good or outstanding, it’s about having excellent character. If you are using your skills and achievement to bring awareness, help, and healing to those around you, then you have achieved excellence.
Olivia

Wheaton Academy has all the resources I need to succeed and flourish academically. I have learned so many new things, discovered new passions, and grown in skill. My Wheaton Academy education has propelled me into a Christ-centered, hardworking, and excelling future.
Lillie
Class of 2022
Through genuine relationships with teachers, I’ve been encouraged and challenged as a learner and, most importantly, as a follower of Christ. The teachers who walk alongside me have set an example of what it means to be a faithful and hopeful Christian—and that’s been formational in my growth.
Gwyneth
Class of 2023
At Wheaton Academy, faith isn’t just one element of your daily school routine. Instead, it is a pursuit that transcends academics, sports, music, and co-curriculars. In every class, practice, concert, meeting, and interaction, God is always at the center.
Chessie
Class of 2022
At Wheaton Academy, there are so many opportunities for students to use their gifts in service to individuals and local communities, but ultimately as a means to glorify God who gave us these gifts.
Eric
Class of 2022
Teachers, coaches, and directors held me to a high standard of excellence so I could grow in my talents and abilities for the glory of God. I learned that a good education is one that pushes me to my limit because that is where growth occurs.
Analeigh
Class of 2025
At Wheaton Academy, you will be encouraged to succeed whether you're mixing chemicals in the lab or singing and dancing on the stage. The greatest lesson I have learned in classes here is that the Biblical mind does not conflict with the scientific one. Instead, they go hand in hand.
Joy
Class of 2025
Wheaton Academy has been absolutely transformational in the lives of our kids. The influence that the teachers and staff have had on their lives has been so invaluable, so impactful, so life changing! While the drive to Wheaton Academy has been over 45 miles round trip, roughly 10,000 miles annually, the difference has been well worth the distance.
Chris
Current Parent
At Wheaton Academy, I have been challenged in my relationship with the Lord when my faith was strong and I have been built back up when my faith was weak. The teachers work incredibly hard to build relationships with their students so there is always someone to come to if you need anything.
