    From The Ethel Walker School

    The Ethel Walker School is far more than a traditional all-girls school. It is a place where mentor educators galvanize students to harness their creative energies and embark on lives of impact.

    Unconstrained by gender-biased thinking, Walker’s students are encouraged to test boundaries in the classroom, on the fields, on stage, and in pursuit of knowledge. They embrace that knowledge to build their affluence of mind through a visionary academic approach.

    Together, in a community where each individual is supported as she defines her perspective and explores new vantage points, students revel in the confluence of spirit generated from this joyful nexus of connection, collaboration, and creation. While at Walker’s, girls are inspired to lead with confidence and conviction. This strength will imbue each graduate throughout her life. Walker’s alumnae carry themselves with grace and a certainty that empowers them to influence and inspire.

    We’re all for girls and have been since 1911.
