About the School

  • Walden School provides an outstanding college-preparatory education in a student-centered environment.
  • Walden is a K 12 independent school, committed to small class size, highly qualified teachers and an individualized approach to learning.
  • Our structured and nurturing academic climate motivates students to active participation and maximum achievement.
  • At Walden, academic, cultural, and religious differences are acknowledged, respected, and celebrated.
  • In partnership with families, Walden School assists students in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and values needed to succeed and to accept responsibility for their lives in a changing world.
  • Walden fosters an educational environment in which academic and intellectual development is complemented by a concern for moral, physical, and psychological growth.
  • We believe that development in all these areas is necessary to play an effective role in a multicultural society.
  • It's our philosophy that it isn't only students who attend Walden; families do.
  • The support and participation of parents is critical to the success and well-being of their student.
  • Walden has an extraordinarily active Parents Association, a governing Board of Trustees in which parents of Walden students are well represented, and a wide range of family activities such as Grandparents Day, Donuts with Dad, Muffins with Mom, the Auction, an annual Thanksgiving lunch, and an open visitation policy.
  • All of these encourage a closer parent - school relationship.
