The Programs

Five Ways WCA Goes Further

  • STEM Program

    Science, technology, engineering, and math taught as one connected subject rather than four separate ones — building, experimenting, and problem-solving.

  • Launching August 2026

    PACE Program

    Starting August 2026, we are implementing the PACE program.

  • Educational Trips

    Not ordinary field trips: each one pairs a guided tour with a STEM program, so the day counts as real instruction.

A Closer Look at Each Program

STEM Program

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

STEM programs in education focus on an interdisciplinary approach to teaching these four fields. Instead of viewing them as separate subjects, STEM curriculum integrates them into a cohesive learning experience that encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

Here are some of the benefits of STEM programs in education:

Develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills:

STEM programs challenge students to apply their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to solve real-world problems. This helps them develop critical thinking skills, such as the ability to analyze information, identify patterns, and develop solutions.

Increases creativity and innovation:

STEM programs encourage students to think outside the box and come up with new ideas. This is essential for success in the 21st century workplace, which is increasingly driven by innovation.

Improves communication and collaboration skills:

STEM programs often involve teamwork, as students work together to design, build, and test prototypes. This helps them develop communication and collaboration skills, which are essential for success in any field.

Prepares students for STEM careers:

STEM programs can help students develop the skills and knowledge they need to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These are some of the fastest-growing and highest-paying careers in the world.

Educational Trips

At WCA, we refer to field trips as Educational Trips because students engage in a STEM program in addition to a guided tour.

For the safety of our students, we charter a bus for safe transportation to and from our campus. Students will leave the campus at 9 am and return by 2 pm. These educational trips are for students only, NO parents.

Educational trips usually require a small fee payable via Zelle, or fee can be dropped off at our front office. Students should wear their WCA Spirit Shirt. We will provide a snack, but please ensure your child has their packed lunch in a disposable container (Ziplock bag—NO lunchbox).

Field trips require parents/ guardian to complete and sign a Consent Form for each child.

More details via email prior to the trip.
