I have been at Walden since kindergarten. I love my school and the entire community. The people at school have become my second family. I love that our class sizes our small. It gives us a chance to get a lot of one on one instruction, and let's us get to know the other students at school. I think we have a lot of offerings in sports and clubs, I do wish that we could be more competitive sometimes. It's hard for us to compete with some of the bigger schools because we don't have as many students and not as much money, but the coaches always try to make it fun and they really do seem to care a lot about us.

A Small private school that celebrates a child learning style. Administration and teachers are very professional yet personable. Classroom sizes are small which provides more one on one teaching/learning experiences. High school student population is very small.

Walden embraces student individuality and meets students where they are, versus expecting the student to adapt to some "norm." Our child has grown in this dynamic culture, pushing his creative and innovative personality through the arts program and exploratory outings. Faculty and staff give great feedback and seek the same. We could not be happier with our decision to have joined the Walden family.
