Señora McNeil’s Spanish
At WCA, students begin learning Spanish early—an ideal time to develop language skills. Spanish is offered to all students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. In the early grades, the focus is on basic communication skills, while upper grades begin to incorporate more grammar and structure.
The goal is for students to leave WCA with a strong foundation—equivalent to, or beyond, what is typically taught in Spanish I and II at the high school level. With this head start, students will be well prepared to continue and excel in their language studies in high school and beyond.

Mrs. Chelsea McNeil
Spanish Teacher
Mrs. Chelsea McNeil brings over 14 years of teaching experience and holds a Master’s degree in Educational Administration. Known for her hard work, focus, and upbeat attitude, she is organized and joyful in the classroom. Mrs. McNeil finds great fulfillment in teaching, especially in witnessing her students grasp new concepts and grow academically. All students love being in her Spanish class, where she creatively engages them in learning. She even starts the school day with a student count led in Spanish, and thanks to her influence, students can often be heard praying in Spanish during circle time. Mrs. McNeil continuously thinks of creative ways to help students learn, many of which involve hands-on activities and, of course, eating! Her walk with God deepened through marriage and becoming part of a church community, where she has taken on leadership roles in Bible Study classes. Trusting in God’s guidance, Mrs. McNeil made the transition to WCA to better support her family, as her child has been part of the WCA community since preschool. She feels truly blessed to serve as both a teacher and a parent within the WCA family.
