The Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys recognizes that education does not take place in a vacuum. A student’s ability to focus and learn is impacted by obstacles and challenges he may face outside the classroom. Working in close partnership with our students and their families, we strive to create an environment where every boy receives the structured support required to fully develop his unique gifts. We also collaborative with a wide range of established community agencies to ensure that each student has access to the health, social and integrated community-based support services necessary to facilitate their academic and social development.
