Word of God Christian Academy is a private, Christian, coeducational, primary and secondary day school located in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. Also known as Word of God, the school was founded in 1993.

Contents

In 2015, a North Carolina think tank found that Word of God received $180,600 in public funds through the state's voucher program for lower-income students, the most of any private school. [1]

History

Along with Word of God Fellowship Church and the affiliated daycare center, the academy was founded by Bishop Frank Summerfield, who died in 2017. [2]

In 2006, the NCAA refused to accept diplomas from Word of God as part of an effort to crack down on diploma mills. [3]

During the school's 2022–23 years, the basketball program joined the Our Saviour Lutheran School in New York City and Hillcrest Prep Academy in Phoenix, Arizona as a part of Overtime Elite alongside the program's own YNG Dreamerz, Cold Hearts, and City Reapers teams.
