Leadership Transitions
Wheaton Academy Community,
We are pleased to announce several exciting leadership transitions that reflect our continued commitment to nurturing growth in students through relationships, excellence, and service to the glory of God. You should have received an email from Steve Bult regarding these changes. Read more here: https://wheatonacademy.org/announcing-leadership-transitions/

Host Families Needed for the 2025–2026 School Year
The WA International Program is currently looking for families to host international students for the 2025–2026 school year. Hosting provides a unique opportunity to know, love, support, and disciple a student from another country, offering them a Christ-centered home away from home.

We are praying that each student will be placed in a family that is a great fit, and we trust that God is preparing hearts for this calling. We invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with us in this meaningful ministry! Your house size, family size, or age is not the deciding factor. What matters most is a willing heart to invest in the life of a student. If you or someone in your church or community may be interested, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact Marlina Visker (mvisker@wheatonacademy.org or (630) 562-7573) to learn more about the program and what it means to be a host family.

Thank you for praying with us and for considering how you might be a part of what God is doing through the International Program at Wheaton Academy.
