Athletics are an integral part of our girls’ experience. When young women train and compete, they rise to meet new challenges, step into leadership roles, and emerge physically and intellectually stronger — as individuals and as team members. Each girl competes with a passion and determination, and with pride in the Walker’s name. In every aspect of their life at Walker’s, students are empowered to lead with integrity, courage, confidence and conviction.
Walker’s athletic teams compete in the Founders League, a league of highly selective college preparatory schools, and nationally recognized as one of the most competitive and respected leagues in the country. As a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), Walker’s Athletics program supports the NEPSAC Code of Ethics.
Athletic Director
"Our students bring energy to the classroom, on the fields and courts, and in the pool. They’re engaged, motivated and inspiring. They bring out the best in our teachers, coaches, and administrators."
At Walker's, my teachers were also my coaches. It gave me the opportunity to get to know them outside the classroom whether it be on the fields, the slopes, or the courts.
It’s important for young women to hold leadership roles because it helps to develop the confidence and responsibility needed to be successful.
Walker's prepared me very well for college, especially being an athlete. Walker's taught me to maintain a balance of academics and sports.
