School History & Christian Roots

In 1988, we began our infant, toddler, and pre-school programs under the banner of Some Place Special Christian Day Care in Scarborough, Ontario.  However, it soon became apparent that there was a need for an exemplary academic program within the context of the Christian principles for these growing students. In 1992, our first elementary class began with six pupils in grades one to three.  The school was then renamed to Wesley Christian Academy to reflect the expansion into an elementary school and to embrace the life and teachings of John Wesley, an inspiration to the founders.

The school continued to grow and when we entered the new millennium, our original building was stretched beyond its capacity. Our entire school family dreamed, worked and prayed together for a new location. In September 2004, we started the academic year in a newly renovated much larger school. However, by 2018, it was very clear that we needed even more space for our growing school. The loft on the second floor underwent a major renovation and four new classrooms, bathrooms, storage space, an archive room and a mechanical room were added. The floor of the gymnasium was also completely refinished, and new sound baffles were installed in the ceiling. At Wesley, investing in and updating our classrooms and facilities with technology, equipment and enriching space is a priority, as this helps ensure our students have the tools and room they need to thrive and achieve excellence in their studies.
