Our story

About WSOCA

Rooted in faith. Growing through generations.

Our beginnings

A foundation of faith since 1995.

Founded by Mrs. Davis in 1995 as Freeport Bible Pre-school and Nursery, a ministry of Freeport Bible Church, the academy began with a vision to provide Christian-based education. Over the decades, its programmes expanded from early childhood education through primary and junior high school.
