What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 30, 2009

The John Glenn School Corporation is the sole reason we moved our family to Walkerton, Indiana in 1990 from urban South Bend. Since then, we have been so happy to have made that move.

Our three children have flourished in the small town environment and have participated in every aspect of scholastic life. The teachers and administrators care about the students. Most students are recognized by name, on sight. The overall effect is a respectful student body and a strong learning environment.

If you are a parent who pays attention, your child can get the equivalent of a top private school education in this small rural school district. By the way, housing is cheap!

A word of warning: Don't come expecting a high suburban lifestyle. It does not exist here. And, I should add, no one wants it. As former city dwellers, it took awhile to appreciate the slower pace. We call it Walkerton-time.

For the record, neither I nor anyone in my family works for the school corporation. Close Quote
