Lottery Process

The Walden lottery process is simple and straightforward. As applications are received during the open enrollment period, student names are added to a list of applicants and are arranged by grade. If there is space available, siblings of currently admitted students are automatically accepted before the lottery process takes place. No distinction is made based on gender, ability, disability, or ethnicity.

On the day of the lottery, all names currently on the wait list are included in a pool, organized by grade. Names are drawn randomly, one grade at a time, until open positions are filled. To ensure fairness, the lottery cannot be conducted unless at least 3 school officials are present, including a school administrator and/or business official. Names are drawn by a disinterested third party who is not an employee of the school.

When a name is drawn and added to the list of accepted students, a school official checks to see if the accepted student has any sibling(s) in the applicant pool.  If he/she does, and if there is space available in those particular grades, the sibling(s) are added to the list of accepted students. If there is no space available, the sibling(s) are added to a priority wait list and are admitted by sibling lottery once a space does become available.

Computer Science Initiative

STEM Education is an integral part of every classroom at Walden. Inquiry-based instruction encourages students to ask questions, think strategically, and use multiple strategies to solve problems. Walk through the halls at Walden and you may see a group of excited third-grade students demonstrating their understanding of  mathematical modeling and linear vs nonlinear dynamics to high school students by throwing carefully crafted paper airplanes. You may run across “Big Bob” the stand-alone video arcade game deigned by a student for his capstone senior project.  You will certainly hear animated conversation and laughter as students engage enthusiastically with learning—guided by teachers who foster creativity, curiosity, and confidence.
