At Walker’s, we seek to foster and cherish the joyful development of girls into young women so that they may reach their full potential as astute thinkers and doers in the world. Our grounding values of integrity, respect, confidence, courage, conviction and love of learning provide a solid framework for personal, ethical and social growth. Our ethos of warm receptivity to new ideas and people, as well as enduring and deep friendships over time, emerges out of Ethel Walker’s philosophy of education and her desire to provide girls with a foundation for lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity. At Walker's, girls can be themselves, discover their true passions and purpose, and achieve their best performance in every aspect of life.
At Walker's, students learn by doing. Students pose and present questions in their quest to master content. Through unique courses like Honors Biochemistry and Visiting Writer Seminar, students conduct real-world research in antibiotic resistance and they participate in master classes with living writers. The effect of their experiences is immediate and lasting: Walker's girls become the intellectual leaders and stewards of their own education.
