This week on What’s Up Waco I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Dr. Kahrin Wessel — or as her students call her, Dr. K — the visionary behind Harbor Christian Academy, one of Waco’s newest private schools.
If you’ve ever wondered what education could look like if kids were truly given space to be kids while also receiving a strong academic foundation, this conversation is going to inspire you. Harbor Christian Academy was built on the belief that faith, learning, and childhood should work together — not against each other.
Here’s what we dive into:
 ✨ The heart and vision behind Harbor Christian Academy and why it’s a fresh choice for families in Waco
 ✨ How their smaller classes, skills-based learning, and family involvement set them apart from traditional schools
 ✨ The Dock Program, designed to support students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and dyslexia in a way that helps them thrive
 ✨ Why Dr. K believes education should be about more than grades; it’s about belonging, character, and faith
Harbor Christian Academy is currently serving Pre-K through 8th grade, with plans to grow, and is quickly becoming a go-to option for parents looking for a Christ-centered private school in Waco.
If you’re curious about alternative schooling in Waco, exploring faith-based education for your kids, or just love hearing how passionate leaders are shaping our community, you’re going to love this episode.
