Carlson says that having parents involved helps him keep tabs on the school's progress. Mastering Academics, and Beyond Walker's academic curriculum covers reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, science, and American history everyday subjects, perhaps, but taught with the expectation that students will go beyond everyday achievement. They work at a very high level and feel challenged by the higher level of intellectualism. Introducing students to the fine arts is also an important part of the curriculum. Music classes help students learn the basics of music theory, develop music appreciation, and study great composers and their works.
Students also have many opportunities to sing as part of school-wide musical programs.
Our teachers do an excellent job of encouraging the children to be creative and expressive. All in all, Walker Charter Academy offers its students an education that can help them become intelligent, ethical, well-rounded adults. They learn of actions, consequences, and the art of wise decision-making.
