Who are your instructors?WCA is an academic cooperative with instructors from the entire Hampton Roads area. However, many instructors are homeschool parents/family of students at WCA. Parents do not take turns teaching classes at WCA. Instead, our instructors apply to teach classes that they are not only excited to teach, but are also qualified to teach. Our instructors are chosen for their expertise, education, knowledge, skills and abilities in a particular subject area. In addition, they love what they do and are able to share that passion with our students. Most WCA instructors have a Bachelor's degree or higher level of education.

What can I expect at a WCA admissions interview?We take the time to meet every single new family that joins the WCA community. It is a huge under-taking each year, but it is important to us that you feel welcome and acclimate quickly to your new community. The interview is your opportunity to have all of your questions answered about our classes, instructors, and homeschooling at WCA in general. We want to make sure we are a fit for your family!

Is WCA a drop-off program or must I stay on-site with my student?WCA is an entirely drop-off program for teens aged 13 and up.

Parents are never required to sit-in with students during classes.
