Dear Prospective Family,
Welcome to Jackson-Walnut Park Schools! We are delighted you have chosen to learn more about our wonderful campus!
Jackson-Walnut Park Schools is a thriving and caring learning community where instruction is responsive to the needs of children. JWP is comprised of two schools whose overarching values provide a well-rounded education for our children that is not only academically sound, but also guides children to become thoughtful and respectful leaders. Walnut Park is an authentic Montessori pre-school for children between the ages of 2.9 through 6 years old; Jackson School is an elementary school in the Catholic tradition, open to all. At JWP, our committed and dedicated faculty bring just the right balance of rigor and nurture to the classroom. Teachers work together to provide a solid academic program for our students and a sense of adventure in the learning process. We engage our students in this educational process, respecting each child's developmental needs within the context of an academically stimulating environment.
Our expectations are high, and we ask each member of our community to collaborate with us in achieving excellence. For students, excellence means doing their best, being resourceful, and working well with others. For the administration and faculty, it means developing and delivering an engaging and practical curriculum that is reflective of the world around us and guided by the tenets of our school’s mission and the values of our sponsors – the Sisters of Saint Joseph. For parents, it means supporting the community of the school; finding ways to contribute to their child’s school experience; and encouraging the best in their child and others. Parents and teachers communicate frequently and are an essential team in fostering student success. Many parents choose to join in classroom activities, participate in field trips, or serve as volunteers.
We look forward to sharing in the development of your child's promise and we invite you to learn more about our schools! Please feel free to contact the Admissions Office at any time with questions you may have.
On behalf of our community, we welcome you and look forward to learning more about your family!
