About Walker's

Preparing young women to make a difference in the world

We have created a school where girls are bold, joyful, and full-voiced in being themselves.

Walker’s girls have the integrity to pursue excellence, the courage to learn from failure, and the creativity and conviction to pursue their goals. They value community and know how to take action that impacts their world. This is what it means to be a leader. 

We have an extraordinary faculty, beautiful campus facilities, and the vision to offer an education that is truly transformational. I know from my experience as a college professor at Brown University that graduates of all-girls’ schools are more likely than peers from co-ed schools to speak up and pursue their passions with confidence. That is because everything we do is designed to teach girls to take advantage of every opportunity — in their education and in life.

The work we do at Walker’s is a calling. Come visit our campus and meet our students; sit in on a class and explore the arts, athletics, and community initiatives at work in our Centennial Center. I hope that you, too, will be called to join us.”

About Walkerʼs

For more than 100 years, The Ethel Walker School has been preparing young women to make a difference in the world. At Walker’s, we seek to foster and cherish the joyful development of girls into young women so that they may reach their full potential as astute thinkers and doers in the world. Our grounding values of integrity, respect, confidence, courage, conviction, and love of learning provide a solid framework for personal, ethical, and social growth.

Our grades 6–12 plus postgraduate education serves not only as preparation for college, but for life itself in this century of constant change. Walker’s graduates, whatever field they pursue, are societal engineers, reworking and rewiring the very mechanisms of our world. Our ethos of warm receptivity to new ideas and people, as well as enduring and deep friendships over time, emerges out of Ethel Walker’s philosophy of education and her desire to provide girls with a foundation for lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity.

At Walker’s, girls can be themselves, discover their true passions and purpose, and achieve their best performance in every aspect of life.
