Our Mission
Through the recognition of creative learning styles and differential
classroom instruction, Walker Academy provides a unique academic
environment, best suited for the student desiring a more individualized plan
of study. Walker Academy students achieve academic success, become more
familiar with themselves and develop wise decision making skills.
A Winning Choice in Education
Founded in 1998, Walker Academy operates as a non-profit private school
for grades 6 - 12. We have a unique teaching precept: not every student experiences learning
in the same way.
Students with creative learning styles - often known as "right brain"
dominant - gain most from an educational environment that offers
collaborative learning. For these students, having an opportunity to
work collaboratively with others, combined with individualized attention,
often is imperative to students' success with academics, simply because of
the way they process information.
In the past, many such students have suffered from the misconception that
they are low achievers and, sometimes, even failures, in environments that
typically are unaccustomed to providing differentiated classroom
instruction.
Walker Academy represents a winning choice in education, with faculty and
staff who offer teaching expertise and a high level of understanding for all
students who have promise and potential, but need an environment that will
enable them to thrive.
