“Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” I (Corinthians 4:2 NIV)
God has blessed people with different talents and abilities. He calls on each of us to use these gifts to full measure and to His glory. Students who have shown a special talent for academics must be challenged.
The Scholars Program seeks to both broaden and deepen the educational experiences of those students who pursue academic excellence. This is accomplished by providing students with a rigorous class schedule, extended learning outside of the classroom, aggressive attention to college preparation and selection, and opportunities for service to Walther Christian Academy and the community.
Walther Christian Academy believes that those students who have been blessed by God with the talent and desire to excel must be good stewards of these gifts. The Scholars Program is one way to help these students realize their God given potential.
Students are invited to join the Scholars Program based on their performance on the Walther Christian Academy placement test.
The student shall maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above each semester.
The student shall be involved in at least one extra-curricular activity each year.
Scholars will receive a $1000 annual academic scholarship, be given priority in class scheduling, receive special notification of enrichment opportunities, have access to our 8 AP classes and Dual Enrollment courses at Concordia University-Chicago, and more.
Walther Christian Academy is operated for the purpose of providing Christian Education at the secondary level for the families of Lutheran congregations. However, it admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, and religion to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin and religion in administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.
