"I am a senior and have been a student at JWRCA since 2011. I've gained a deep knowledge of academics and biblical teaching. I feel I am richly equipped with everything I need to know and my future in the academic world."

"I believe that every child deserves the best education. I teach the Doctrine class and we stand on the Word of God. The children come to class with their Bible, notebooks, and something to write with. I am happy to see their level of participation in class!"
Shar'on Jackson

"J.W. Reed Christian Academy is having a positive impact on my granddaughter that is reflected in her personal values. She loves God, serving with a fervor that reflects her deeply held Christian values. She serves her community, looking out for others and championing those who may have otherwise been neglected or unheard. I am grateful for the effects of what she is learning at the school."
Ken Chester

"The teaching and guidance my children have received has led to an increase in their skills and also their desire to walk with God. I can fully trust they are being prepared for their future both academically and spiritually."
Sarah Pruitt

"The teachers are easy to talk to about school or even personal issues."
Gabriel W.
Class of '27
"My daughter was in a bad environment at school. She was being approached inappropriately at school by kids, and she was strong enough to know that she needed to leave that environment. She has gotten closer to God as a result of JWRCA...through the environment she escaped and in the environment she found [JWRCA]."
