The Woodlands Christian Academy plans to expand to support the school’s growth, and it raised $1.75 million at its annual gala April 12 as part of that effort.

Some of the first projects to be implemented in the master plan include a private driveway for the Lower School that enhances safety for students as well as expansion of the Nehemiah Academic Center to house the growing Middle School enrollment, according to a news release.

The details

The school will acquire 4.85 acres of land behind its Joshua Academic Center, the first step in the campus master plan that was unveiled at the annual gala. The Crescent City Soiree event held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center hosted 400 guests as part of the fundraising effort for campus growth. The New Orleans-themed event included an auction as well as live music from Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. and The Zydeco Twisters, according to a news release.

Previous expansion efforts at the school included the opening of a $10.8 million fine arts building in 2024.
