A Classical Christian School in Formation
Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy is a classical Christian school forming students through the peace, love, joy, and hope of Christ, so they grow through rigorous academics and a redemptive arts education into servant hearted image bearers who steward their gifts for God’s glory and their neighbor’s good.
Where Truth is taught and children learn to love what is Good.
WWCA is not being imported. It is being grown here, by families, educators, and community members who love our valley and believe it deserves a school built upon a rock.
WWCA brings together classical rigor, the daily life of the family, and the beauty of God's creation, so that what a child learns and who a child becomes grow together.
Every subject, every discipline, and every day begins and returns to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Education is never neutral. It is formation, and WWCA forms students in a coherent Christian worldview that joins faith, reason, and beauty.
Chapel meets Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and worship shapes the rhythm of the week.
Our university-model approach honors parents as the primary educators. Families are covenant partners. On-campus days pair with guided learning at home, and parents with a gift for teaching may serve the community through our teaching program.
Art, music, movement, and worship are central to the school, not supplementary. Beauty is a pathway to Truth, and it belongs in the classroom because it belongs to God. Every student is treated as a maker in formation.
Formal governance, transparent stewardship, a vetted board, reviewed legal documents, and a clear 501(c)(3) pathway. Families deserve to invest in something built to last, and we are building it that way from the first day.
The trivium gives the school its spine, and a weekly rhythm gives families their footing.
Both tracks follow the same curriculum and the same formation. The Full-Time track simply offers more time within it.
Every track serves the same formation. You choose the pace that honors your family.

Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric structure how students learn in every subject. They are taught to think, argue, and speak with precision and grace.
We open serving kindergarten through sixth grade, with a long-term vision of growing into a full K-12 school as the Lord provides and prepares the way.
Class sizes are capped at 10–12 students per teacher. Groupings may span grade levels by design, based on enrollment and student readiness.
Alongside our kindergarten through sixth grade core program, WWCA offers electives with open enrollment for middle and upper level students. Choose from the arts program, STEAM, and other electives offered throughout each semester.
Electives give older students a place to make, build, and create within a Christ-centered community while the school grows toward its long-term K-12 vision.
Ask About Electives Electives Guide ↓ K–6 Program Guide ↓At WWCA, beauty is not decoration. It is a pathway to Truth. Human beings are made in the image of a Creator, and making beautiful things is part of bearing that image faithfully. Our art mission is to form students who see truly, make with intention, and reflect on their work with honesty, so that their gifts become an offering and not a performance.
Read the Full Art MissionWe refuse to reduce art to technique drills, and we refuse to treat self-expression as enough. Art at WWCA is disciplined, faith-integrated creative formation rooted in the image of God.
Students learn to look. They study the masters, the natural world, and the fundamentals of line, value, shape, and color, building a visual memory that lasts.
Students test and refine. They work from observation, compare methods and materials, and learn why some choices succeed and others fall short.
Students make and speak. They bring together what they have seen and practiced into finished work, and learn to explain it with clarity and conviction.
Every student is treated as an artist in formation, whatever their experience level.
Drawing fundamentals, design principles, composition, and value, with rotating mediums that may include graphite, charcoal, ink, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and printmaking.
A survey of art history through a biblical worldview, from the ancient world through the Renaissance and Romanticism to contemporary practice.
Guided critique, artist statements, and reflective writing that build the vocabulary of a serious artist and a thoughtful human being.
Showing work within the Wimberley community, receiving response, and learning what it means to make art for an audience and not only for a grade.
Visits to galleries, museums, and working studios, and time spent drawing from the Hill Country itself.
For students serious about the arts: portfolio development, college application guidance, and one-on-one mentorship with an MFA-credentialed instructor.
Teresa Moralez-Davis is a working artist, an educator, and the founder of Wimberley Wellspring Christian Academy. Her studio practice spans drawing, painting, mixed media, collage, printmaking, and intermedia work, and she brings to the classroom both technical rigor across a wide range of materials and a deep belief that learning to see is a formative act.
In her classes, students do not 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 a native of the Texas Hill Country, a wife, and a mother, and it is from that life, not apart from it, that this school was born. She knows what it is to want something better for a child than what the world readily offers, and WWCA is in part her answer to that longing.
WWCA is designed so that art, music, movement, and worship form students in a way that no lecture can. Fridays follow a classical, Charlotte Mason inspired rhythm of chapel, field studies, enrichment electives, and narration and recitation.
As the school grows, we hope to build a full classical arts program in which every discipline is led by credentialed instructors and joined to theological aesthetics, classical history, and biblical formation.
Art is offered as an open-enrollment elective for middle and upper level students, with classes available throughout each semester, beginning when WWCA opens in Fall 2027. We will share any earlier offerings with our community as soon as they are confirmed.
We are seeking teachers who are not simply credentialed but convicted: men and women who believe classical, Christ-centered education is one of the most faithful things they can offer the next generation.
A school is a long promise. We are building WWCA with the governance, accountability, and educational seriousness that a promise like that requires, guided by mentors from within one of the strongest classical Christian school legacies in Texas.
Academic direction is held under the leadership of the Director, and the school is stewarded by a founding board that decides together and prayerfully.
Read Our Common QuestionsWe are building toward membership in the national bodies that hold classical Christian schools to a high and shared standard, with accreditation targeted within our first year of operation.
Current status: WWCA is incorporated as a Texas nonprofit corporation. Our 501(c)(3) application is in formation, with a target filing date before August 2027. SCL, NAUMS, and ACSI accreditation and membership are being actively pursued and are not yet held. We are operating under the guidance of the Herzog Foundation SchoolBox program and building the institutional record that accreditation requires from day one.
WWCA is not being imported. It is being grown here, by families, educators, churches, and neighbors who love this place and believe it deserves a school worth staying for. Our Carpenters, Creators in Christ, will carry the name of this community into the world.

Learn more →TEFA — signed into law May 2025 — will provide $10,474 per student per year in state funding for qualifying families choosing accredited private schools. Once WWCA meets eligibility requirements, TEFA would cover a significant percent of tuition. Our target window is Fall 2028–2029. We are building the accreditation pathway now so that families enrolling in Fall 2027 are the first to benefit.
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.
Every gift supports our founding year: operations, faculty, curriculum, and the Wellspring Scholarship Fund, so that a child's formation never depends on a family's income.
WWCA is a formalized school, not a cooperative and not a curriculum in a box. It offers instructor-led academics, a central arts program, written policies, a vetted board, and the institutional permanence that a community can count on for generations. The family remains the primary educator, and the school walks with them.
We are preparing to open in Fall 2027, serving kindergarten through sixth grade. Our long-term vision is a full K-12 school, if and when the Lord determines and prepares us to do so. Middle and upper level students can join us through open-enrollment electives.
Yes. Electives are open enrollment for middle and upper level students. Options include the arts program, STEAM, and other electives offered throughout each semester.
Both tracks follow the same curriculum and the same formation. Hybrid families are on campus Monday and Wednesday, with guided learning at home Tuesday and Thursday, and an optional Cultivate Plus day on Friday for those who want it. Full-Time families are on campus Monday through Thursday, with Tuesday and Thursday held as mentor-supervised Cultivate Days. Friday Cultivate Plus is available as an optional add-on for any enrolled family.
Our campus has not yet been announced. We are searching prayerfully and carefully, and we will share the location with our community as soon as it is confirmed.
Not yet. We are building the pathway now toward membership in SCL and NAUMS and accreditation through ACSI, with accreditation targeted within our first year of operation. We will always state plainly where we are on that path.
A central one. Beauty is a pathway to Truth, so art, music, movement, and worship are woven into the life of the school and not added on at the edges. Read our art mission.
No. Every student is treated as an artist in formation, whether a complete beginner or a serious student building a portfolio.
Our goal is to keep full-school tuition within the range families in our market already expect to pay for a quality Christian education, while keeping WWCA accessible. Our founding-year tuition goal is to position ourselves below the classical Christian market ceiling and in line with, or below, other Christian schools nearby. Exact tuition will be finalized once our campus is secured and our target enrollment is established. If you are planning ahead, reach out and we will share what we know as things come together.
We hold that a child's formation should not depend on a family's income. Financial access is part of our mission, and the Wellspring Scholarship Fund exists to close that gap. Every financial conversation is held in complete confidence, and asking is always welcome.
WWCA is a Texas nonprofit corporation with a 501(c)(3) application in formation. Gifts are not yet tax-deductible, but are expected to be retroactively eligible upon IRS determination.
Whether your children are grown, still small, or not yet born, if you carry a love for Christ and a hope for the generations after us, there is a place for you at this table.
