This is a time of transition from self-contained elementary classrooms to a more departmental approach. Responsibilities and independent work increase. By the time the students reach ninth grade, they should feel comfortable with the demands of the upper school.

The WCA Junior High curriculum includes Mathematics, with placement by ability into General Math, Pre-algebra or Algebra, Literature and Composition, Science (both physical and life), World Geography, American History and the Constitution, Spanish, Bible and Physical Education.

A full time athletic director, gymnasium and playing fields enhance the WCA after school sports program offered at the Junior High level. Competent faculty serve as coaches and mentors encouraging athletes at all ability levels. Even the unskilled but eager athletes can develop into valuable members of a chosen team.
