[My nephew] started at Walden as a freshman and turned into a different kid practically overnight...This is from a child who had F’s and D’s at all other schools. Now he has all A’s and a B. I am beyond thrilled with our choice to send him to this positive school. The teachers TRULY care about the well being of each and every student. Thank you for changing his life.
