Student Life

Project LEAD

Leadership at Wheaton Academy is a part of  Wheaton Academy’s mission to “nurture growth in students through relationships, excellence and service to the glory of God” and is lived in the cultural context of Kingdom Community to our campus, our communities and the world.

We believe in developing Student Leaders

It has to be authentic. In order to help students grow as leaders, we try to provide them with authentic leadership opportunities that allow them to succeed and to fail.

Leadership opportunities are available to everyone. Since leadership is serving and positively influencing others, we believe that all students have the potential to develop as leaders.
