A Message from Mr. Barkman

Dear Parents,

I wanted to share some quick feedback with you from our Thursday night seminar with Mrs. Elizabeth Hartley. As we were all packing up to head home, she approached and said, "These students are amazing! What are you doing at this school?”

I responded, “We partner with parents. The credit for these young people being the way they are goes to the parents. WCA simply partners with these families to encourage what is already being reinforced in their homes.” And I mean every word of that.

I’m so grateful for you all. Partnership is not always easy, but it’s always worthwhile! Keep up the good work! 

Thank you for trusting us as partners in your child’s education.

Greg Barkman, Upper School Principal
