Walden Middle School
Middle school can be such a confusing time. With one foot in childhood and another in the teenage world, life can seem overwhelming. At Walden, we recognize students need a warm, encouraging environment as they navigate these rocky waters. The teacher/student ratio at Walden allows each instructor to guide students on a personal level and one-to-one mentorship is part of the daily schedule. Bullying is absolutely forbidden, and Walden students pride themselves in creating a community that embraces diversity and individual expression.
Walden’s middle school curriculum empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally, nationally and globally. The result is young people who are creative, critical and reflective thinkers. Our curriculum framework comprises seven subject groups:language and literature, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics, arts, physical and health education, and computer science. Ethical behavior and service to the community are essential parts of program that providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents.
Our Middle School Program is designed to help students:
build confidence in managing their own learning
learn by doing, connecting the classroom to the larger world
learn critical academic skills
thrive in positive school cultures where they are engaged and motivated to excel
develop an understanding of global challenges and a commitment to act as responsible citizens.
At Walden, middle school students are given the opportunity to participate in field work and to engage in extra-curricular activities. Our teaching community inspires our students to develop their passions, academic independence, and personal success.
