Excellent traditional education. Well behaved children reflect the clearly stated and consistently enforced rules. When one walks inside the school, it’s quiet! Children in the classrooms are learning. Children in hallways are walking calmly towards their destination. This atmosphere promotes learning, teachers aren’t wasting instruction time disciplining students. This school requires parental support. The academics are rigorous, standards are high and students are expected to complete all assignments including four days a week of homework. CT Walker produces responsible, respectful, and EDUCATED students. Close Quote
