Outplacement & Alumni Support
Outplacement
The Office of Outplacement at the Bishop Walker School for Boys provides support and assists young men and families in the Middle School Admission process. Its central aim is to find the appropriate educational match to ensure the continued academic, social, emotional and spiritual success of young men.
The office assists with:
- Applications
- Managing test requirements
- Preparing students for school visits and interviews
​
The Director of Outplacement is a liaison between families and the middle school admission directors and advocates on their behalf until decisions are made.
Alumni Support
The office of Alumni Support provides support to the young men and families who have graduated from the Bishop Walker School for Boys. Its aim is to ensure the continued academic, social, emotional and spiritual success of young men, once they have graduated BWS and to help families navigate through the middle, high school and college process. The office tracks alumni progress by asking guidance counselors or advisors at schools to complete surveys about the academic performance and social adjustment of BWS alumni.
