Westside Christian Academy is an inter-denominational classical and Christian school with a Grammar School for Pre-K-6 and an Upper School for Grade 7 through 12 in Cleveland’s western suburb of Westlake. Our mission is to integrate biblical truth with academic excellence so that our students will become leaders who are committed to impacting the world for Jesus Christ. We partner with Christian parents in raising their children "in training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4) 

Using a classical curriculum and methodologies, our academic program includes a strong emphasis on grammar, logic, rhetoric and Latin as well as history, science, mathematics and the arts. Through a lens 
of a Biblical worldview grounded in the Old and New Testament Scriptures, we teach children to think and learn for a lifetime, cultivate Biblical character and leadership, and strive to shepherd a child’s heart, not just behavior. 

The student-teacher ratio is favorable with class sizes that average 12. WCA is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and The Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS).
