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.
Milestones
Our journey through the years.
Curriculum and primary expansion
Under Vanena Smith, the school adopts the Bahamas Ministry of Education curriculum and introduces Dr. Maggio’s reading programme. Later leadership expands the school to K5 and Grade One, reintroduces Abeka and develops a new primary school.
Freeport Bible Academy
Principal Sharon Green renames the growing school Freeport Bible Academy, reflecting its expansion across the primary grades.
A new chapter of achievement
Principal Altamarae Elvies oversees the first Grade 6 graduation and a period of growth that reaches a peak enrollment of 367 students.
Honouring Pastor Wilbur S. Outten
Following Pastor Outten’s passing, the school is renamed Wilbur S. Outten Christian Academy in his honour.
Junior High begins
In September, the academy registers as a primary and secondary school with the National Accreditation and Equivalency Commission of The Bahamas and welcomes 14 Grade 7 students for the 2022–2023 school year.
