AN INTERNET SCHOOL, SERVICE OF THE PURITANS’ NETWORK
Westminster Covenant Academy is committed to upholding the historic reformed Christian faith of scripture in the education of children. It is our goal to facilitate a program of godly instruction combined with academic excellence for courses in grades K-12. We seek to provide an education which is consistent with the Biblical doctrines so excellently summarized in the original Westminster Standards (the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and the Westminster Larger Catechism ).
Westminster Covenant Academy is a non-accredited internet
school offering courses ala carte and customizable for each student. The
Puritans’ Home School Curriculum , available free on-line, serves as the
primary curriculum of the Academy.
Westminster Covenant Academy facilitates the implementation of the
curriculum, on an as-needs basis .
Course lectures are available free on-line at Westminster
Covenant Academy digital lecture files .
But in order to have assignments and tests graded by the faculty of the
Academy, and to receive a course grade, students need to enroll in a course
with the Academy (among the courses listed at
Course
Offerings) and to submit assignments and tests electronically
by email. Graded assignments and tests will be returned to students
electronically. Also, payment of a
course fee is necessary.
Westminster Covenant Academy has an expanding list of
course offerings. See Course
Offerings for a current list of available courses, as well as information
on how to enroll for a particular course. See Schedule
of Course Offerings by Semester to view our long term program of
courses.
There are various avenues in which courses taken through
Westminster Covenant Academy may be able to be used towards obtaining a high
school diploma from an accredited institution.
We cannot guarantee they will be so accepted, but we would encourage you
to investigate possibilities. For
example, we recommend that you inquire
of such schools as North Atlantic Regional
Schools (especially if you are in the USA) and Canada College (especially if you are in
Canada) to find out if such schools may accept coursework done using
Westminster Covenant Academy in your circumstance. It should be noted that there is no connection or relationship of
any kind between Westminster Covenant Academy and these other schools.
Consistent with its mission, Westminster Covenant Academy
requires that its teaching faculty adhere to the doctrines summarized in the
Westminster Standards.
Our school calendar is fairly typical. The Fall Semester runs from September
through mid-January, and the Spring Semester runs from mid-January through
May. Classes offered through
Westminster Covenant Academy (see Course
Offerings) should fall within these time periods. Classes will generally begin within a few weeks of the inception
of the semester period, and conclude before the end of the semester period.
Westminster Covenant Academy is starting very
simple. The first two students are the
children of the developer of The
Puritans’ Home School Curriculum
and the founder of Westminster Covenant Academy. We hope that some others may choose to join
them in this enterprise. Students may
come from varying denominational affiliations.
