Identity Statement

Walden School is a K-12 independent school community located in St. Matthews where all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our students benefit from personalized learning, hands-on experiences, and connections to nature in an environment that celebrates individuality.

Why Walden

At Walden, academic, cultural, and religious differences are acknowledged, respected, and celebrated. We give students the knowledge, skills and values to succeed and accept responsibility in their lives.

In partnership with families, Walden fosters academic and intellectual development, complemented by a focus for moral, physical and psychological growth. Development in these areas is necessary to play an effective role in today’s multicultural society.

Walden School is designed to accommodate the different rates of growth in students by providing small classes, a carefully planned and frequently reviewed college preparatory curriculum, and professional excellence in the faculty. Our unique and individualized educational experience is designed to nourish all aspects of a student’s educational and personal growth.
