Preparing young women to make a difference in the world.

Walker’s advanced courses spark genuine excitement about learning, create real-world connections and allow for exploration. Our master faculty design a curriculum that is meaningful, rigorous, and inspiring. A robust offering of advanced courses stretches students to become reflective, analytical thinkers who are motivated to direct their own learning. By designing our own advanced curriculum, we can offer a wider variety of subject areas without the confines of a culminating standardized test. Students, accordingly, are prepared to take AP exams if they so choose.

Student-athletes at Walkerʼs compete in the Founders League, a league comprised of highly selective college preparatory schools, and nationally recognized as one of the most competitive and respected leagues in the country. Walkerʼs interscholastic sports offerings include basketball, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, skiing, soccer, softball, squash, swimming, tennis, and volleyball.

Riding has been part of life at Walker’s since its founding in 1911. The social, emotional, and character-based lessons that come from a passion for equestrian sports are consistent with our School’s history and mission, and our exceptional equestrian program sets Walker’s apart from its private school peers.

Our highly qualified and trained arts faculty are active in their respective disciplines, keeping our programs fresh and relevant. Arts offerings include ceramics, drawing, graphic publication, painting, photography, sculpture, a cappella, African drumming, bell choir, choir, gospel choir, orchestra, rock band, dance workshop, dance ensemble, winter play, and spring musical.

Walkerʼs offers a large number of student-organized clubs and organizations, including affinity groups, performing clubs, academic clubs, and more. Students who have particular areas of interest can create their own clubs and set up regular meetings and activities.
