I couldn't be more impressed with the classes, and programs offered through WHITKO. They are top ranked and award winning for their AP class performance. They have all the technology I would expect out of a Fort Wayne or Warsaw school.The teachers are amazing. They know every student personally and don't let anyone fall behind, or get away with anything. It is awesome to see a smaller school that can deliver such results.
