Walden School of Liberal Arts, a free K-12 charter school, provides an engaging, academically challenging student-centered environment. Our program is a based around two internationally celebrated educational models that prepare students to thrive in a global community: Montessori curriculum for grades K-5 and International Baccalaureate curriculum for grades 6-12. All “Waldenites” are inspired to think deeply and creatively as they celebrate and explore the extraordinary world around them. OUR MISSION Walden is a place where social, emotional and academic growth are valued equally, a place where students see possibilities, make meaningful choices, take risks, and emerge with a stronger sense of identity, belonging and purpose. It is a place where critical thought, creativity and independence are nurtured; where empathy, cultural awareness and tolerance are valued. Our purpose is to develop capable, globally minded citizens who are dedicated to making positive contributions to society.
