    From The Walden School

    Founded in 1967, The Walden School takes the responsibility of educating children seriously and passionately. Rooted in Montessori philosophy, students are guided through their educational experiences by dedicated and well-trained teachers who empower the students.

    The balance of academics and social-emotional learning helps our students understand the connections we have to each other.

    We encourage our students and families to bring their uniqueness to the Walden Community, sharing their experiences, culture, talents, identities, and interests. When the school and family partner together to serve our students, it results in an experience that is unlike others.

    Upcoming Events

    At Walden, your child will be known, valued, loved, and challenged. What could matter more?

    academic spotlight

    Students spend 2-3 years with the same teacher. This "looping theory" empowers students by emphasizing the iterative process of learning and growth. Embracing feedback and adapting continuously, students cultivate resilience, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning. Teachers will know how/when to offer the instruction a student might need to grow and flourish.
