Admissions http://www.westcobbchristian.org/admissions/ en-us Copyright 2010 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:48:20 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.23-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Why Choose WCCA Nationwide about 25% of all schools are private, parochial, or Christian.  The three reasons most frequently given by parents who choose one of these schools are better academics, a safer environment, and Christian character training. 

Here at West Cobb Christian Academy, we understand what parents truly want in a school.  You want your child to develop a life-long love for learning. You want your child protected and well taken care. You want their academic, social, and emotional needs met.  But along the way, you want them to develop Godly character and Christian values.  You want them to learn how to build strong marriages, rear exemplary children, and lead productive, happy lives. 

What you do about your children's education will have a deep impact on the direction of their future.  In fact, in your lifetime, you will make few decisions as important as this one. 
A Christian school alone cannot guarantee that every graduate will achieve academic excellence and Godliness.  However, the right Christian school can vastly improve the odds.  On grade equivalency, 90% of West Cobb Christian students are reading at least 1 grade level above their peers.  90% of West Cobb Christian students are working at least 1 grade level above their peers in math as well.

In Christian values, while less than 25% of today's teens will become active, lifetime church members, more than 70% of the Christian school graduates will. 
West Cobb Christian Academy is in a position to impact the lives of your children in a manner and to a degree that few other institutions can.  

10 Compelling Reasons to Choose West Cobb Christian Academy
  1. CHRISTIAN MORALS AND VALUES!  Not just "Christian" in name only, our faculty are committed, active Christians with outstanding reputations.  The Bible is studied and memorized daily.  Every subject is subjected to the authority of God's Word and is taught for His glory. 
  2. STRONGER ACADEMICS! Most parents believe that private schools provide a higher quality education. West Cobb Christian is no exception. Our curriculum is based on accelerated standards for achievement. The beauty of paying private school tuition is that you have choice and freedom to choose the best for your child. We have worked extensively to provide excellent goals and objectives for each level as well as exceptional curriculum that helps us meet those goals.  
  3. DISCIPLINE!  Students are required to sit up, pay attention, participate, refrain from disruption, and show respect to classmates and adults.  Those who persist in unacceptable behavior are removed. This provides an productive atmosphere for learning. 
  4. FUN AND EXCITEMENT!  We strongly believe that not all learning needs to take place in a classroom. We go on 4-5 field trips a year as well as have field trips come to our school. We have monthly family events and different classroom projects that incorporate learning and excitement. Our children participate in enrichment classes pertaining to art, music, Spanish, technology, physical education and library every other week. 
  5. AFFORDABLE!  One of the remarkable and surprising things about WCCA is the value.  Your child will get an upscale, world class education for the cost of day care. 
  6. SMALL CLASS SIZE! Our Mother's Morning Out and PreK4 classrooms have small class sizes that fall way below state recommendations. Our elementary grades are capped at 13 students per class. 
  7. MORE CONTROL! Parents hope that a private school will be safer for their child- a place where they know their child and other students are closely supervised. Stricter discipline and a no-nonsense approach to learning are just what you will find at West Cobb Christian. Admission requirements, constant supervision, secured and locked doors, communication tools in each room, and sound internal policies assure the safety and well-being of each student. 
  8. EARLY ADMISSION! Under Georgia law, a child must be 5 by September 1st in order to start public
 kindergarten. We offer early entrance for Kindergarten students who miss the traditional cut off. We
will accept a student with a birthday up to Dec. 1st with positive teacher recommendations and a satisfactory  
     rating on a kindergarten readiness exam administered by West Cobb Christian.  
  9. INNOVATIVE TEACHING! West Cobb Christian Academy offers multi-age classroom settings. These settings allow us to gear instruction toward individual student needs, show a respect for individual differences, have limited grade retention, assessment that reflects instruction, cross-age learning, modeling and teaching, greater focus on success, improved self-esteem, flexible groupings and a development of  skills to help each child become lifelong learners.  
  10. OUR MISSION!  The two fold mission of West Cobb Christian is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, values, and ethics to excel in life and to prepare an army of young Christian patriots who will exemplify, passionately advocate and intelligently defend the Biblical worldview, thereby solving our nation's problems rather than adding to them. 
  11. West Cobb Christian believes quality education must include the ageless values found in God's word -- the same values which were once so widely accepted in our country.  That is what makes West Cobb Christian such a special place. Won't you join our growing family?!
