For families seeking something more, West Chestnut Academy offers a safe, faith-filled, and affordable alternative
Maybe your child is struggling to keep up. Or maybe they’re bored, anxious, or just not thriving.
For many families, public school works well. But for others, it simply doesn’t. And if you’re reading this, you might be wondering if it’s time for something different.
Whether it’s because of overcrowded classrooms, curriculum concerns, lack of spiritual foundation, or a desire for more personal attention, parents often face a tough question:
What if public school isn’t the right fit for my child?
You’re Not Alone
The decision to explore other educational options doesn’t mean you’re overreacting—it means you care deeply. It means you’re paying attention. And it means you’re not afraid to advocate for what your child truly needs.
What Are the Alternatives?
When families start exploring alternatives to public school, they often look into:
Private schools
Homeschooling
Co-op or hybrid learning models
But the biggest concern? Cost. Time. And not knowing where to start.
A Private School That Makes It Possible
At West Chestnut Academy, we understand these concerns. That’s why we’ve built a Christ-centered school that:

Offers financial aid to qualifying families
Supports a whole-child approach to learning
Creates a safe, nurturing, faith-filled environment where students can thrive
We welcome students from all backgrounds who are seeking more—more connection, more purpose, and more peace in their child’s education.
