ABOUT
Founded in the summer of 2020, Wilmore Crossing Academy endeavors to fill the void for an alternative schooling option in Jessamine and nearby counties - including the greater Lexington area. Micro-schools are a reinvention of the old one-room schoolhouse concept with small multi-age/level groups. Homeschool families are increasingly drawn to micro-schools because they offer individualized academic structure in a flexible, and socially creative atmosphere.
In addition to English, Math, Science & History, Wilmore Crossing Academy provides a full range of electives for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Elective Course offerings have included: Adulting, Art around the World, Civics, Costume & Set Design, Creative Writing, Cursive & Keyboarding, Debate, Dystopian Literature, Entrepreneurship, Environmental Science, Finance Park, Logic Detectives, Mad Skills, Mindful Movers, Robotics, Spanish, World Music, and Theater.
Class sizes are limited to complement non-traditional schooling with generally a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio in core subjects. Smaller classes allow for deeper learning through lecture, discussion, research and hands-on exploration. Here at WCA, our goal is to help students find their P.A.T.H.
MISSION
Wilmore Crossing Academy empowers students to find their P.A.T.H.—purpose, aptitude, talent, and heart—through personalized instruction, experiential courses, and collaborative learning in a safe and supportive, educational environment. Structured yet flexible, our small class sizes and multi teacher approach allows WCA to meet the unique needs of each student and family.
VISION
Wilmore Crossing Academy aspires to be a leading micro school, cultivating a community of learners who think critically, act compassionately, and are ready to flourish in their future academic, personal, and professional endeavors.
