Original home of Waukegan Christian School

"During these forty years, the Lord your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing." (Deut. 2:7b)

Westlake Christian Academy celebrates forty years of God’s faithfulness in allowing us to provide Christian families with a solid academic education from a Christ-centered perspective! Our journey began in 1972, when we opened the doors as The Waukegan Christian School in our rented facilities at Waukegan Bible Church. After moves to Zion and Gurnee and a name change, God provided a permanent Grayslake home for Westlake Christian Academy in 2002.

Westlake Christian Academy today

As a pre-kindergarten to 12th grade Christian school, Westlake provides a well-rounded education which includes scholastics, athletics, fine arts, and community service in a nondenominational, evangelical context. This context is established on the foundation of discipleship in Jesus Christ. Every aspect of Westlake is geared to the spiritual growth of our students.
