WHO WE ARE
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6
Westshore Christian Academy is an inner-city school start-up that reaches out to students in the underserved neighborhoods of Muskegon, Michigan.
OUR MISSION
To equip students to grow in their relationship with Christ, become life-long learners, to actively serve their community, and pursue Christian leadership.
We want our students to grow deeply in a relationship with Christ, become academically well-rounded, and actively serve others. WCA will pour into these students the character qualities of faith, love, empathy and commitment, while giving them a safe place to learn.
OUR VISION
To become a community leader in Christian education and to achieve recognition as an exemplary and outstanding institution dedicated to the enrichment of the whole child: emotionally, socially, and academically. We envision molding the lives of students in God-centered ways, and to positively and dramatically impress upon their lives the love of the Lord, for the sake of their salvation.
Family involvement is a key component of our school climate.
Families and staff will work closely together to ensure students personal growth. The individualized attention and the safe loving atmosphere of Westshore Christian Academy will prepare students to apply what they have learned during these formative years, and to carry it with them for the rest of their lives.
HISTORY OF WCA
Westshore Christian Academy is the brainchild of founder & administrator Kimberly Borgeson who, in the year 2000, had a vision of pulling a little red wagon of books into the Muskegon Heights area and reading to the children. This later inspired the creation of Red Wagon Schools, the parent consortium and foundation of WCA.
In 2018, the foundation used a portion of a former charter school at 2140 Valley Street in Muskegon, Michigan, and opened its doors as an after-school STEAM enrichment and tutoring program. In fall of 2019 WCA opened it's doors to three students. The staff kept faith that God would bring the students He wanted to WCA and so He did! We now have 37 students and are starting to out grow our current space! We are so thankful to the Lord for providing for all of our needs.
Help Us Make More History
Our success and the success of our students is directly dependent on the support of our donors, volunteers, and strategic partners. We can't do it without them. Help ensure the success of WCA and possible future Red Wagon Schools by becoming a financial donor.
