About the Academy

Tending a wellspring
for generations to come.

Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy is a new classical Christian school in formation — rooted in the university-model hybrid approach and built on the conviction that a child's mind and faith deserve to be taken seriously. We are building this carefully, and on purpose.

WWCA is designed to serve grades 6–12 through a hybrid university model — structured gathering days paired with guided at-home learning. We are currently in our founding season, assembling the community, faculty, and home that this school will grow from.

Christ at the Center
Every subject, every discipline, every day begins and returns to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Education is not neutral — it is formation. WWCA forms students in a coherent Christian worldview that integrates faith, reason, and beauty.
I
Classical Formation
The classical trivium — Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric — structures how students learn across every subject. Students are taught not only what to think but how to think, argue, and articulate with precision and grace.
II
Family as Foundation
WWCA's university-model honors parents as primary educators. The school serves families — not the other way around. Parents are covenant partners, not customers.
III
Institutional Integrity
Formal governance, transparent finances, vetted board, reviewed legal documents, and a clear 501(c)(3) pathway. These are not aspirational statements. They are the non-negotiables that define what WWCA is. Families deserve to invest in something built to last.
IV
Beauty as Stewardship
Beauty is not decoration — it is a pathway to Truth. WWCA's Classical Arts Program is not supplementary. It is central. Art, music, movement, and worship form students in a way that no lecture can. Beauty belongs in the classroom because it belongs to God.

The Need

There is no school like this
in the Hill Country. Until now.

The Gap

Wimberley is a growing community of families who care deeply about education, faith, and the formation of their children. But the Hill Country corridor has no classical Christian school for grades 6 through 12 that offers instructor-led academics, a formal arts program, and institutional permanence.

Families are settling for less: long commutes to Austin classical schools, online curricula without community, secular private schools without Christian formation, or homeschool co-ops that cannot sustain teacher compensation or program depth.

The Answer

Not a cooperative model. Not an unstructured gathering. Not a curriculum box on the kitchen table. A formalized school — built here, for this community, with the seriousness that the next generation deserves. What is missing locally is a classically rigorous, Christ-centered institution prepared to be here in twenty years. That is exactly what WWCA is building to steward and sustain.

“Families are either driving to Austin or settling for less. WWCA exists because that is not an acceptable answer.”

The Program

A school built on
living water.

Every subject at WWCA is designed as part of a unified pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. The classical trivium — Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric — provides the spine. Christ provides the center. This is the framework we are building toward.

I
Grammar Stage
The age of memory and wonder. Students absorb the foundations — historical narrative, Scripture, mathematical facts, and the great stories of civilization. Knowledge planted deeply enough to grow for a lifetime.
II
Logic Stage
The age of argument and analysis. Students learn to question well, reason clearly, and construct a coherent worldview from what they have received. Dialectic, formal logic, and the Socratic method shape this season.
III
Rhetoric Stage
The age of expression and wisdom. Students learn to speak and write with beauty, clarity, and conviction — to defend what is true and communicate what is good. Formation becomes articulation.
IV
Classical Arts · Founding Pilot
Beginning Fall 2026, WWCA offers a founding classical art program for grades 6–12 — the first gathering of what will become the full WWCA community when we open our doors in Fall 2027. Limited to 12 students.
V
Hybrid University Model
Structured gathering days paired with WWCA-guided at-home learning. For families where a parent or guardian is present to support learning at home. The family remains the primary educator.
VI
Full-Time Program
For families who desire full daily immersion — extended on-campus hours, deeper instructor presence, and a more complete guided experience of the WWCA community and classical tradition. Same curriculum, same formation, more time.

Accreditation Pathway

Building within a proven national tradition.

WWCA is actively pursuing membership in NAUMS — the National Association of University-Model Schools — and the Society of Classical Learning (SCL) by the 2027-2028 founding year. ACSI accreditation is targeted for Year 2 (2028-2029). These affiliations place WWCA within a national tradition of accredited classical Christian school excellence.

Accreditation also unlocks the most significant affordability development in Texas education: Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) will provide qualifying families with $10,474 per student per year in state funding once a school has two years of operation plus accreditation. WWCA's target eligibility window is Fall 2028-2029. We are building the accreditation pathway now so that the families who enroll in Fall 2027 are the first to benefit.

The Founding Classical
Art Program.

Beginning Fall 2026, WWCA will offer a founding classical art program for students in grades 6–12 — an introduction to drawing, design, and the beauty of the visual tradition, taught through a biblical lens. This is the first gathering of what will become the full WWCA community when we open our doors in Fall 2027.

Led by Teresa Moralez-Davis — MFA, University of Iowa · BFA, University of Texas at Tyler — this is not an enrichment class. It is classical formation through the visual arts, taught by a credentialed artist and educator who believes that beauty is a theological statement.

Your instructor

Art is not a subject.
It is a way of seeing.

Teresa Moralez-Davis holds an MFA in Printmaking and Intermedia from the University of Iowa and a BFA from the University of Texas at Tyler. She is a working artist, educator, and the founder of Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy — a school she built around the conviction that beauty, rightly understood, is a theological act.

Her studio practice spans drawing, painting, mixed media, collage, printmaking, and intermedia work. She brings to the classroom not only technical rigor across a wide range of materials and methods, but a deep belief that learning to see — truly see — is one of the most formative things a young person can do. In her classes, students don't just make art. They learn to look at the world with attention, to make with intention, and to reflect on what they have made with honesty.

Teresa is also a devoted wife and mother — and it is from that life, not apart from it, that this school was born. She knows firsthand what it is to want something better for a child than what the world readily offers. WWCA is, in part, her answer to that longing — a school built in service to God's call to raise up the next generation in truth, beauty, and faith.

The classical art program at WWCA is taught from a biblical worldview — one that takes seriously the idea that human beings were made in the image of a Creator, and that making beautiful things is part of what it means to bear that image faithfully. Every student who walks through the door is treated as an artist in formation, whatever their experience level.

Formal School Leadership Development

Teresa is enrolled in the Herzog Foundation SchoolBox program — a formal school leadership development program for classical Christian school founders — where she has been officially matched with a mentor from within one of the strongest classical Christian school legacies in Texas. This mentorship places WWCA's formation directly within the proven tradition, not apart from it.

I
Technique & Studio
In-depth drawing fundamentals, design principles, composition, and value. Rotating mediums including graphite, charcoal, ink, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and printmaking. Students work from observation, imagination, and the classical tradition.
II
Art History & Appreciation
A broad survey of art history through a biblical worldview — from the ancient world through the Renaissance, Romanticism, and into contemporary practice. Students learn to see, to compare, and to situate their own work within the long arc of human image-making.
III
Critique & Reflection
Students learn to articulate what they see, what they made, and why it matters. Guided critique sessions, artist statement development, and reflective writing build the vocabulary of a serious artist — and a thoughtful human being.
IV
Community & Exhibition
Organized art shows within the Wimberley community and local art scene. Students present their work publicly, receive community response, and experience what it means to make art for an audience — not just for a grade.
V
Field Trips & Professional Development
Visits to galleries, museums, and working studios. Exposure to the professional art world — curators, collectors, educators, working artists — so students understand what a life in the arts actually looks like.
VI
Pre-Professional Mentorship
For students serious about an arts career: portfolio development, college application guidance, professional presentation, and one-on-one mentorship with an MFA-credentialed instructor. The path from student to artist, walked together.

Program tracks & access

A place for every
family called here.

We believe this kind of education should be accessible — not only to families with flexible schedules or ample resources, but to every family who is genuinely called to it. WWCA offers two program tracks and a commitment to financial access that reflects our belief that the Kingdom of God is not gatekept by income.

I
Hybrid University Model

Structured gathering days on campus, paired with WWCA-guided at-home learning days. The at-home days are not free time — they are a continuation of the classical work, with assignments, reading, and projects provided and supported by your WWCA instructor.

This model is designed for families where a parent or guardian is present and able to supervise and support learning at home. It honors the family as the primary educator while giving the structure, rigor, and community of a classical school.

Ideal for
Homeschooling families seeking structure and community · Parents who want to remain closely involved in daily learning · Families with flexible schedules
II
Full-Time Program

For families who desire full daily immersion in classical Christian instruction — extended on-campus hours, deeper instructor presence, and a more complete guided experience of the WWCA community.

Some families simply want more. More time in the classical tradition. More daily rhythm shaped by the school's culture. More consistent formation under the guidance of a credentialed, mission-aligned instructor. This track is for them.

Ideal for
Families who desire full daily structure and instructor presence · Those who want deeper immersion in the WWCA community · Students who thrive with consistent guided rhythm throughout the school day
The Wellspring Scholarship Fund

The water does not stop
at the edge of what you can afford.

WWCA is committed to financial access as a matter of mission, not marketing. We do not believe that a child's formation in truth, goodness, and beauty should depend on their family's income. The Wellspring Scholarship Fund exists to close that gap.

Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and mission alignment — to families who are genuinely called to this kind of education and who simply need a hand reaching it. There is no shame in asking. Asking is how the wellspring reaches further.

What we offer
Partial tuition scholarships · Payment plan flexibility · Need-based fee waivers for registration and materials · Sibling discounts (10–15% for second enrolled child)
How to apply
Reach out to us directly — by email or through the inquiry form. Financial aid conversations are held in complete confidence. You will never be asked to justify your need to anyone but us, and we will approach every conversation with grace.
Inquire about financial aid

"Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink — even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk — it's all free." — Isaiah 55:1

Texas Education Freedom Accounts

The long-term affordability answer is already law.

TEFA — Texas Education Freedom Accounts, signed into law May 2025 — will provide $10,474 per student per year in state funding for families choosing accredited private schools. Once WWCA meets eligibility requirements (two years of operation plus accreditation), TEFA would effectively cover 85 to 90 percent of WWCA's full tuition for qualifying families. Our target eligibility window is Fall 2028-2029. We are building the accreditation pathway now.

If tuition feels out of reach today, TEFA is part of the long-term answer. The Wellspring Scholarship Fund is the answer for right now. Neither the wellspring nor the Kingdom gates on income.

Founding Families

Be part of what
is being built.

We are now welcoming a small, intentional cohort of founding families — those who believe this kind of education matters and want to help build it from the ground up. Founding families are not simply enrolling. They are co-laborers in something that will outlast us.

Permanent Recognition

Founding families are permanently named in WWCA's founding records and honored in the school's institutional history.

Priority Enrollment

Founding families receive first access to enrollment for the 2027–2028 academic year across all grade levels and tracks.

A Voice in Community Culture

Founding families help shape the spirit and culture of WWCA — the rhythms, traditions, and community values that make a school feel like home. Academic direction and school governance remain under the leadership of the Director.

Wellspring Community

Founding families are invited to a private community gathering before the school year begins — the inaugural Wellspring Family Night.

About Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy

Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy was founded by Teresa Moralez-Davis as a Christ-centered educational program designed to serve middle and high school students through a structured, academically intentional classical model. Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy and the foundational vision for this program were created and developed by its founder as part of a distinct approach to education — one that integrates academic rigor, critical thinking, and biblical truth within a supportive and purposeful learning environment that is built to last.

From its inception, Wimberley Wellspring has been built with clearly defined systems, curriculum pathways, and operational structure to support both students and families seeking a consistent and meaningful educational experience. The program reflects a commitment to institutional integrity with thoughtful instruction, creative development, and the cultivation of strong character rooted in faith.

As the program continues to grow, Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy remains focused on equipping students not only academically, but spiritually and personally — preparing them to engage the world with wisdom, confidence, and integrity.
