Baccalaureate

Performance Trust Field
WA families are invited to celebrate what the Lord has done in the lives of our graduates and their families.  We will pray for and commission our seniors as they start new chapters in their lives.  Please join us for this night of worship and celebration!

Commencement
Sunday, June 6
3:00 p.m. (Gates open at 2:30)
Performance Trust Field
Thank you for your patience as we plan for a commencement service on campus in place of Wheaton College’s Edmund Chapel.  In a previous communication, we had mentioned that each family would receive a minimum of four tickets.  As we have reviewed current guidance in Illinois for gatherings, we no longer need to limit the number of guests for our ceremony.  We will provide seating on Performance Trust Field for nearly 1500.  If you do not get a seat on the field, there will be additional seating in the bleachers as well as room for guests to set up their own chairs outside of the stadium (viewing from a distance is possible thanks to our jumbotron). The gate will open at 2:30 p.m. for general admission seating.

Summer Academy
Summer Academy starts Wednesday, June 9. Teachers and room numbers will be posted in the Atrium and in Student Services on the first day. If you have not received any information regarding Summer Academy and had planned on your student taking summer classes, please contact Angie Roberts, aroberts@wheatonacademy.org, as soon as possible.

The lunch menu for Summer Academy will be available to view on Fridays. Please submit your order no later than the Thursday prior.
