The Walker School

The Lower School years are formative years in a student's life. Our goal is to create an enriching learning environment that engages the student. It is the Lower School that has the responsibility of laying the solid foundation upon which increasingly sophisticated academic and personal experiences can be built. The Lower School faculty firmly believe that education is a cooperative effort among the school, child, and home. One of the primary goals of the Lower School is to provide students with an excellent academic program in an environment of love, respect, support, caring, and trust. In addition, we strive to help the students develop poise and self-confidence by providing a variety of opportunities to present before groups of all sizes. Students are encouraged to express themselves in oral and written communications and in visual and performing arts. Walker students are encouraged to think for themselves and to make intelligent judgments and decisions within the Walker environment.

The Lower School at Walker is always an exciting place! In addition to the basic academic offerings, students study foreign language, drama, art, physical education, computer, library skills, and music. Students also have the opportunity to experience learning first hand through many exciting field trips.

Walker students develop poise and self-confidence through involvement in chorus, weekly assembly programs, daily devotionals, oral book reports, seasonal productions, and the annual spring play.
