Throughout my high school experience, I have learned how to put ample time and effort into my education, athletics, and social life. Doing this has allowed me to really understand the importance of my future and prepare to become a better leader.

This school is only worth it if your kid is getting a grant and you don't have to pay out of pocket. If you have to pay the tuition out of pocket pick a better school. The education is average at best. Many of the students are disrespectful to the teachers and talk and are disruptive in class and the teachers either can't control them or are afraid to. There are seems to be lots of favoritism towards certain students. I had more problems at the school in 5 months than I did at the public school for7 years. I moved my kids back to the public school and will probably look for a better private school for high school.

Walther Christian Academy is a great school. I really like the band and drama opportunities and trying out activities I've never done before, like tennis and wrestling. The teachers are supportive and caring, and I've made good friends.
