“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6

Discipline:
The Christian concept of discipline involves disciplining- the process of helping one to adopt values that are internalized so that character is shaped rather than behavior merely controlled. Christian discipline is the process of bringing one to maturity in Christ so that the qualities of “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Gal. 5:22,23) are increasingly evident in daily living. We talk with the child about his/her choice and how the wrong choice has consequences.
In the classroom setting, it is essential for outward behavior to be under control. Therefore, policies and procedures must be put in a place to create an environment for learning. One must understand, however, that outward behavior is an indication of what is in the heart (Matt. 15:17) and that WWCA has to deal with the outward behavior of the student, its essential to realize that changing outward behavior is only temporary and that true change in a student begins with the changing of his or her heart. This can only be done through the power of God’s Word, the Holy Spirit, and prayer. It is the responsibility of the parent to teach the principals of God’s Word and pray for their children. Once again, WWCA is here to assist the family; however, WWCA must implement its guidelines to insure the best possible learning environment for its students. We are committed to do everything humanly possible to help parents in the great responsibility and opportunity of rearing children in a Biblical way.

- Noticeable change in behavior by faculty.
- Interview
- Meeting of all parents to vote on appeal.
- Presentation to the boards.
- Faculty approval (At least half of the student’s teachers must approve)

1. A written explanation, from the student, stating why he/she should be considered and
2. A letter of recommendation from the student’s pastor or youth pastor.
