The Ethel Walker School
The Ethel Walker All-Girls Boarding School Information:
Philosophy
Ethel Walker envisioned a school whose purpose was to provide young women with an education which would prepare them for college and a life marked by “freedom of expression and action.” The school has enrolled exceptional young women from around the world for nearly a century now. Stated quite simply, academic excellence is the standard at Walker's. Reflecting the diverse population of the United States and our global interdependency, Walker’s seeks and serves students of diverse ethnic, cultural, and economic background. This diversity enriches our community in a multitude of ways and more specifically, it enriches our classes.
Walker's Environment
Full of energy, fun, creativity, spirit, learning, caring and challenge, Walker’s provides the best environment for girls to grow and develop – to emerge.
At Walker's, we provide students with a safe environment in which to be leaders. At Walker's, our students have a sense of pride in themselves and in their School. Yet, our students are not pretentious. There is a palpable "down to earth" ethos that is one of the hallmarks of our community. At Walker's, academic rigor and a notable sense of warmth and nurture go hand in hand.
