Daily Life at Wing Classical Academy
Our kindergarteners experienced tremendous academic growth during their first year. Both have developed a passion for reading, find joy in math, and have gained an impressive knowledge and love of studying the Bible.

Morning Fellowship
Four mornings a week, we gather around the flagpole for Morning Fellowship. This time helps us to focus our hearts, minds, and bodies on the work ahead of us and to approach that work with joy and for the purpose of glorifying God.
We begin with prayer and a hymn.
We say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing a patriotic song.
Depending on the day, we discuss virtue, engage in whole school recitations, or engage in a call-and-response.
Morning Fellowship is approximately 10 minutes long and families are welcome to join us.
Convocation
On Wednesdays, our day begins with Convocation, a 30 minute whole school assembly.
Convocation includes prayers, hymns, scripture, Bible study, Christian apologetics, acknowledgement of special days, student recitations, and school announcements.
Families are welcome to join us at Convocation.
How is faith incorporated during the school day?
In addition to our structured Morning Fellowship and Convocation, we are intentional about engaging our hearts, minds, and bodies to glorify God.
Our Christian faith permeates every lesson and activity. For example, the study of science allows us to understand and appreciate the beauty of God’s creation and the study of mathematics allows us to explore God’s order.
Our faith also informs our culture. We cultivate and expect moral virtue, decorum, respect, discipline, and studiousness among students, faculty, and staff.
