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