Character | Faith | Knowledge
Academics
We believe that children should be enthusiastic about learning while in a loving and nurturing environment that allows individual personalities to develop. Unlike many private schools, Wesley believes that children of all learning abilities who are able to adapt emotionally and socially to classroom routines deserve a private school education that is affordable. Admission is based upon the aptitude and achievement levels of applicants, allowing Wesley Academy to best serve the interests of students who are academically able and can benefit from the program of instruction offered. The Student body is recruited from all strata of society. We encourage children of all creeds, races and ethnic groups to work together and learn from each other.
Character, Faith, and Knowledge
Character
We strive to develop Character, Faith and Knowledge while maintaining a warm heart and a trained mind. We believe that character is an important part of reaching ones potential. We encourage students to become responsible human beings in relation to themselves, others, their environment and world. Students are provided with leadership opportunities to participate productively in the school community and accept personal responsibility for their role in the world at large. We strive to help children develop a positive sense of self-confidence, self-esteem and security so that they will be able to stand up for what they believe and take risks throughout their lives.
Faith
Faith is another essential element of our program. We encourage students to value themselves as children of God--each with unique gifts to cherish, develop and share. We help children develop an understanding of their Judeo-Christian heritage and the teachings of Jesus Christ as the basis for the development of the Christian faith. While we stand unashamed of our Christian beliefs, we encourage children and families of all faiths to be part of Wesley Academy. We facilitate the formation of enduring friendships among students and adults of all social economic, ethnic, racial and religious beliefs.
Knowledge
Knowledge is the key to success in all areas of ones future. Our goal is to develop students' academic and intellectual abilities with exemplary instruction in the traditional areas of reading, writing, arithmetic, foreign language, science, and social studies. We believe that it is essential to have a healthy body to succeed in the world. Therefore, we teach athletic skills to all students to develop their bodies, maintain their health, and provide a foundation for a healthy lifestyle. We educate and support parents as the first and most influential educators in their children's lives.
An atmosphere where teachers are free to teach and children are free to learn with minimal disruption is a primary goal. The school fosters an environment in which students feel secure, learn to trust and learn to take responsibility for their behavior in relation to self, to others and to the environment. As with academics, behavior management must be taught and modeled. At all levels of Wesley Academy, children are encouraged to learn acceptable ways of expressing feelings. The school’s goal is for each student to gain control of his/her own behavior in relation to self, to others and to the environment.
