At The Walden School, our intent is to encourage students to explore areas of interest so that he or she may discover what they really love to do. Students will be equipped with the skills to earn a livelihood. More important, our intent is to help them come upon the clarity and confidence to face life’s complex challenges. At the school, students will be part of decision-making, learning to take responsibility for the community and for themselves. When they go out into the adult world with that sense of responsibility, we hope they will be able to respond sensitively to whatever comes their way.
