General News

Textbook Acquisition for the 2025-2026 School Year
Families are responsible for purchasing or renting books for their student(s). Wheaton Academy has worked with our bookstore company, eCampus, to provide each family a convenient option to purchase or rent books.

Families can shop for each student’s books using eCampus’ “Shop by Schedule” option on their website. Then, eCampus will ship the purchased or rented books directly to each family’s home. Here are some important things to note:

  • The last day of free shipping is August 3.
  • All books must be shipped to your home, not Wheaton Academy.
  • Please order books by August 15 to ensure arrival before school begins on August 25.
  • You must use your student’s Wheaton Academy email (lastname@walearner.org) to order books.
  • If you have more than one student at Wheaton Academy, you will need each student’s email and must log in separately for each student, as their schedule information automatically populates the customized booklist through their email.

For details steps on how to order books, click here.

Laptop Pickup
Laptops must be set up by the student before orientation on Friday, August 22. If your student did not take Summer Academy, stop by the WA front desk to pick up your student’s computer and school ID. Laptops and school IDs will be available for pick up during office hours beginning Monday, August 4. Once you pick up your laptop, follow the instructions here to set it up before August 22

Host an International Student
The International Department is looking for families to host international students this fall. Hosting can be a wonderful experience to learn about other cultures and have a ministry as a family. Host families receive a monthly stipend and lots of support from our school. If you are interested or have questions, contact Marlina Visker at mvisker@wheatonacademy.org.
