School Notes Overview:

At The Walker School, we believe that, for young people, school is much more than just a place of study -- it’s also an important community where they will develop self-image and self-esteem, set goals, and cultivate talents. The encouragement and opportunities students encounter here will have a powerful impact on their futures. Our students flourish in an atmosphere where they are encouraged to work effectively in groups as well as to recognize their own worth and talents as individuals. We seek to provide an environment of warmth, challenge, and support for all of our students, whether they are kindergartners watching the mysteries of the world unfold, Middle Schoolers making exciting discoveries, or seniors making important choices about their futures. The Walker School is unique; we provide an atmosphere conducive to learning in a stimulating yet nurturing environment. Our students have all the benefits of accelerated learning without the pressures that often accompany it. Here students may reach their fullest potentials, while developing a confidence and love of learning that will endure throughout their lives. ...read more
