Our Mission

The Walden School is a place where social, emotional and academic growth are valued equally—a place where students see posibilities, make meaningful choices, take risks, and emerge with a stronger sense of identity, belonging and  purpose.  It is a place where critical thought, creativity and independence are nurtured; where empathy, cultural awareness and tolerance are valued. We champion student choice and autonomy, authentic research and project work. Our school's mission is to develop competent, self-motivated learners dedicated to making positive contributions to society.
