    I love Walker. It's a top notch education. Walker has a great family feel to it. The teachers really care about the students.

    I am a 1969 graduate.My parents drove me from Roswell.I had attended Morgan Falls Elementary public…read moreschool through sixth grade.I was the youngest person in my 7th grade class at Westminster.I attended Duke on a full scholarship and later UGA Law .I became a trial lawyer.Needless to say Westminster positively changed the course of my life.

    1,000. Days? Meals?…read moreFriends? . . . Reviews?? How to mark a relatively minor yet personally important milestone? I didn't want to just do an *average* review, nor did I want to be so aggrandizing as to create a new "listing" of my own Yelp life. [I did think about that one, though...]. Then it hit me: where it all began. Sure, I didn't start at Westminster til 6th grade (that little spurt in Chatt for preschool then another Atlanta private school came before) but it is the most formative educational experience of my life. Even - I think - more than UVA. What I learned, from the "Christian preparatory school for boys and girls" [Note: the specifically Christian part has changed since I was there in the 80s and 90s] is . . . hard to concisely explain [there are some negatives, which I will also mention]. Highlights: *How to think. My parents planted this seed early and they wisely knew I should be in a place where I was challenged, motivated, and importantly - intrigued. *How to create. So many friends have gone on to do amazingly creative, artistically or otherwise, things [see John Pringle http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=john+pringle+wednesday+with+steve+mcqueen&FORM=VRMATS&mmalsid=&mmsosid=385bcb7f-e962-3d3d-e30d-9cf6536fea31&crslsl=0 and Rob Lathan - http://www.roblathan.com/ Zach Hanks http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1189565/bio, just to name three . . .] *The dynamics of social hierarchy: put a lot of bright kids together - and I assure you not all rich WASPy kids - and you've got to learn some social skills, life tactics, motivation . . . [negatives: much like any JH and HS environments, cliques, snottiness, general *rivalries* exist] *Exposure to language and travel. From JH language classes and my first real foray abroad with my French class in 8th grade (I ultimately ended up with enough scores and credits to place out of any college requirements) to trips like Young Life's Western Tour that took us to TX, CO, Mexico, CA and back, with lots of stops in between (Have you climbed Half Dome? Pretty awesome). *The advantages to having so many interests at your use (and waiting or required, depending) - language! science! theater! oh my . . . *An athletic environment par none in Atlanta at my time, and amazingly even better now (and, frankly all "extra-curricular" outlets are as well- have you ever been forced to do a swing jump then safety catch as part of your high school curriculum? Didn't think so - oh, and I had to do mine in a cheerleading skirt). *Simply outstanding teachers (97.2% of the time) [Some pretty stern faculty members-in-charge could use a reset] *Wayyyy big preparation for college - I (and many of my classmates) say Westminster was more challenging than college (and we went to places like UVA, UNC, Dartmouth, Princeton, etc...) Negatives, so to speak, other than I have noted above? Intense competition and pressure; example: a typical weeknight for me as a high school sophomore was two hours of [cross country/cheerleading/tennis] practice, then homework from 8-11 pm, back up at 630 am. Varsity athletes who were also striving to keep being honor students did this every day, every week. Even Type As like me were . . . working hard and beyond. Social pressure - the flip side of acquiring those adult social skills. It's going to be in any Jr High or High School world, but it is amplified in such a brilliant environment. The Type Bs, so to speak - there for family reasons, because it is a phenomenal school, because . . .a really tough place to be as a kid and teen. Super spendy. A smart kid can learn well and go on to do well, regardless of their surroundings, but this kind comes at a price, which I believe is worth it, but it's a pretty big one in terms of dollars. Bottom line? I wouldn't trade it - the experience, the education, the whole shebang - for anything. As much as this smart, Type A, blonde cheerleading captain, WASP girl might have "fit in" and "excelled" - despite the expectations and challenges, on many levels, it is a privilege to go to a place like Westminster for education and way more. And a lot of other kids, different than me - can feel the exact same way. My parents didn't do everything right for sure, but they are the ones who made sure my hide was in that chair in Mrs. Norman's 6th grade English class, and taught me all about diagramming sentences. Part of why I get to write my 1,000th review. Exit, Stage Left.

    As an alumna of NCCS, I can confidently say the school not only prepared me academically for…read morecollege and adulthood, but genuinely equipped me for life. The teachers and staff cared deeply about their students and constantly went above and beyond to support, encourage, and challenge us. I'm incredibly grateful for the environment they created. I always felt pushed to do my best while also feeling known and valued as an individual. The faculty invested so much of themselves into their students, and it showed in everything from the classroom experience to the relationships they built with us personally. As an adult now, I realize and admire how much the school emphasized character, faith, leadership, and integrity alongside academics. The lessons I learned extended far beyond my time there. No school is perfect, but I can honestly say my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I will always be thankful for the teachers, mentors, and friends who made those years so meaningful. This school gave me a strong foundation and prepared me well for the next stage of life.

    As an Alumni, I implore you to send your kids anywhere else. Will they be college ready? Sure…read more That's about the only benefit. The administration have all known each other for years, and will make excuses/ back each other up no matter what. They make examples out of children who make mistakes while taking no accountability themselves. I graduated a few years ago and after having several years of true adulthood under my belt, I have yet to meet a more hypocritical, graceless, judgmental, group of people (And I work in healthcare). A majority of teachers hired are personal friends or friends of friends, regardless of qualification. Teachers children/ children whose parents donate are favored and it's very apparent, speaking from experience. If your child does not fit their mold, they will be treated as they as lesser than. I graduated with my faith hanging on by a thread. There are a very small handful of teachers there who I think stay to try to make a difference. I owe them everything.

    I am a parent of three kids that have gone through Eastside Christian School - now over the past 14…read moreyears - with an 8th grader this year. We've seen a few principals over the years, teachers come and go, several annual funds, several athletic championships, and the school ebb and flow, in all, we've seen lots of change - ... but one thing remained the same throughout - an unwavering commitment to love on my kids in a way that grows them up on a firm foundation of knowing Christ and one that has grown them into amazing young adults. My wife and I chose private Christian elementary and middle school, then public high school - both for the firm Christian foundation and solid education foundation. In the early years, funds were tight as with all young families and putting a sizeable amount of dollars into ECS was a stretch. Each year God provided. For us, it was a year to year strategy that evolved into a set aside budget, even at the expense of other things... I now have a college freshman who when through Walton High School (firm in her faith and with a 4.0), a sophomore (firm in his faith and solid A/Bs), and another going to Walton next year. I have been so proud to call Eastside Christian School my kids' school home for the last decade. When I first walked the halls, it felt like home. There's a real sense of family here, a genuine care for people, and a commitment to a strong education that is Christ-centered. Come to an open house and see for yourself. We're glad we did...

    Eastside is such a blessing to us! Our daughter was in kindergarten last year, and she felt so…read moreloved. Her teacher understood her specific personality traits and helped her bloom. We love the smaller class sizes. Each student is able to get such individual attention. And most importantly, what a blessing to have my child get to worship at school and be taught from a biblical worldview. Eastside is like a family to us.
