Welcome to the Upper School at Whitefield Academy! My name is Susan Banke, and I am privileged to serve as the Upper School Principal. Please take a tour of our campus through
our website and learn about this special place called Whitefield Academy.
The Upper School at Whitefield Academy serves its students in grades nine through twelve focusing on all areas of the student's life through the mission and philosophy. Our goal
at Whitefield is for all students to become life-long learners, confident citizens, servants of a needy world, and witnesses of and for a living, sovereign God.
The school places high importance not only on academics but on spiritual development for every student. Spiritual development takes place through the classroom, chapels, mission
trips, service opportunities, retreats, and clubs. Through a rigorous academic program, Biblical principles are integrated into classrooms. Advanced Placement, Honors, and College-prep
classes also contribute to the challenging program offered in the Upper School. Whitefield Academy graduates are being accepted into top-tier colleges and universities of their
choice and many are receiving significant scholarships.
Besides offering a stimulating academic and strong spiritual development program, Upper School opportunities are also available in athletics, performing arts, visual arts, service
projects, and leadership to develop every student's gifts and talents. These opportunities take place in an environment in which student involvement and input are encouraged.
The exceptional Christ-honoring faculty and staff at Whitefield Academy challenge students to engage in their own education and develop a love of learning that will continue long
after they leave our halls. Whitefield teachers are competent, committed believers in Jesus Christ who willingly give of themselves in a variety of ways, not the least of which
is in helping students understand their faith.
Please stop by and visit our beautiful campus. The facilities are wonderful-- but what make them even more special are the people at Whitefield. Please feel free to call or e-mail
me. Thanks for stopping by and visiting the Whitefield Academy Upper School website.
Dr. Susan Banke
