Order Textbooks via eCampus
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 14 to ensure arrival before school begins on August 24.
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.
