Academics
Each day starts with the promise of learning.
Intellectual life at Walker’s is structured to leave room for exploration — and joy. Our master faculty expertly design the curriculum to be meaningful, challenging, and inspiring. A robust offering of courses stretch students to become reflective, analytical thinkers who are motivated to direct their own learning.
In their quest to master content, Walker’s students pose challenging questions to test norms and disrupt the gendered mindset that informs traditional methods of teaching. Walker’s girls are the intellectual leaders and stewards of their own education.
