Together we'll get a great start!
We believe small classes benefit all of our students - but the benefits are especially valuable for those who are in Kindergarten through 4th Grade. Substantial research supports that positive and meaningful experiences in those grades set a child up for a lifetime of high academic achievement! Our curriculum is challenging and engaging, and our homework is purposeful and age-appropriate.
Regular classroom teachers focus on the basics: reading, writing, math, and social studies. But we also want our students to be well-rounded, so every Lower School student studies music, art, science, Spanish and physical education twice a week with teachers who are specialists in those subjects. Students also visit the Library Media Center weekly to improve literacy skills.

Meet our Kindergarten Teachers
Kindergarten is the foundation of a child's educational journey. At Walden, those first steps are guided by teachers who love their students, nurture confidence, promote individualized learning, and hone social-emotional development.
Kindergarteners are not just part of a class; they are part of an entire community that welcomes them like family!
Why Walden
Our parents are an invaluable resource for honest dialogue and feedback; the strong partnerships we form with families are imperative to the success of a child’s academic experience. To further strengthen the educational opportunities of our students and family partnerships, we sat down with several Lower School parents to inquire why Walden was such an ideal fit for their children.
Lower School Highlights
Our students and their families are offered the best resources to have a fulfilling educational experience. In addition to our small classroom sizes, we improve learning standards by providing the fun essentials: opportunities to play, eat healthy, socially bond with fellow classmates and participate in engaging extracurricular activities.
