SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT WARNER CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

.....There is much that could be told of Warner Christian Academy's rich heritage.  Since 1971, Warner's influence has impacted the Halifax area by providing quality education from a Christian worldview.  So many community families have been a part of Warner that we could not begin to share the many blessings we have seen.  However, we have developed this brochure for the purpose of communicating just a few items of interest.  If you have further questions about who we are, come visit us.  We would love to talk with you.

Did You Know??

Warner Christian Academy opened the doors of the first grade in September of 1971 and soon after added a Day Care Center. In September of  1972 WCA opened the school year with 228 students in grades K5 through 9.  By the 1973 fall term, Warner had 440 students and the athletic  program was started. In 1974, the first graduating class became the first official alumni of WCA.

           
Warner is an outreach ministry of White Chapel Church of God to the Halifax community. We provide services for children from infancy through 12th grade. Warner provides a safe environment where students are taught by Christian teachers who care about their students and the school. Tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs and weapons are not acceptable on the WCA campus.

Warner graduates may be found working for major corporations and serving as doctors, nurses, veterinarians, lawyers, teachers, entertainers, college professors, ministers, and missionaries.  Other alumni are employed in pharmaceutical sales, armed services, corporate management, law enforcement, and space technology. Warner volunteers provide service in the libraries, classrooms, and offices. The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is an active group that has provided great assistance with school needs.

A student government association called Council of Eagles plans school spirit weeks and homecoming festivities.  Junior-Senior activities are sponsored each year by the junior class.

All students are given the opportunity to learn the value of service to others through various projects.  For eight years WCA junior high students sponsored adults from the Hugh West Center in DeLand at Christmas.  Other projects have included mission work camps to Nevis, St. Jude?s Math-A-Thon, ?To Russia With Love? school supply project, Hindi Bibles for Indian children, and care packages to Ethiopians.  Each month our fifth graders minister to the mentally handicapped at the Duvall Home. The Christmas program, first grade circus, and elementary spring program are always high points of the year.  

SPIRITUAL LIFE
The faculty and staff have daily devotions during which time prayers are offered for students and their families.
An overwhelming number of former students often return to report that the environment provided at Warner helped them prepare for the adult world. Students have the opportunity to plan and participate in daily Bible classes and weekly chapel programs, as well as see and hear from Christians in other walks of life. All subjects are taught from a Christian world and life view. Students who attend Warner grow up realizing that parents, grandparents, guardians and others care enough about them to enroll them in a Christian school. We have many other items that could be mentioned, but space will not permit.  You are invited to visit Warner Christian Academy to see us in action.
