​

12.  Love

Pray that our children are filled with the love of God.  That they will know how deeply they are loved, and that love will overflow onto others.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast;  it is not arrogant or rude.  It does not insist on its own way;  it is not irritable or resentful;  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never ends.--2Corinthians 13

​

Founded by Mrs. Katherine Walden, Walden  Christian Academy set out to establish high education standards for young children in the local community.

Since it was founded, the school has grown from its humble beginnings with 9 students and 2 staff members at 209 Union Street, Staunton to our new location at 400 East Church Street, Brazil with 3 (as of now) staff members and open registration.

Our school is nurturing future leaders and setting standards for academic excellence and Christian  character development.

Thank you for being a part of who we are and who we strive to be...a place of learning through encouragement, growth, friendships, and love.
