Full & Half Day Preschool - Full Day KindergartenA Caritas Scholarship School

Help your child get more out of high school by setting them up for success. Give them the advantage of a Walther

education. Since 1954, Walther has been the chosen school for families looking for a superior college preparatory education built on a Christian foundation. We are proud to have 100% college acceptance for our graduating seniors each year, and the highest per student scholarship average in the Chicagoland area. Beyond that what makes Walther MORE?

First, you’ll experience more here, exploring your intellect, spirituality, leadership abilities, athleticism, musicality, and artistry – sometimes all in the same day. Second, our culture make us seem more a university than high school with managed class sizes, advanced courses, candid discussions, and a collaborative faculty. Third, you can someday change the world, because like Walther alumni before them, our seniors are accepted into the best colleges across the country. Fourth, our school’s diversity equips

you with the empathy, communication skills and social awareness to connect with anyone, anywhere. Fifth, we ensure you develop the academic fundamentals, confidence and character to become the student you are meant to be. Finally, no matter your religion, you’ll find Christ here, and He will find you, enlighten you, inspire you, and guide you, in good times and bad.

“Whenever I think back about my years at Walther, I literally get a smile on my face. Those four years were truly some of the best years of my life,” quote from a Walther Alum. We are here to help your child grow. Choosing the right high school is an important decision in not only the student’s life, but the entire family.

Looking for more than just a high school? You found it at Walther Christian Academy!
