orlando’s progressive SCHOOL for grades k - 12
The walden way
Orlando’s Walden School is a progressive, independent, unique, secular, private school in Central Florida, established in 2001 as a 501-c3. We have dedicated ourselves to becoming a school of the community serving students in kindergarten, elementary, and high school.
Research supports increased student engagement and learning in smaller multi-age cohorts; therefore, Walden is small by design and highly selective.
As a community of learners, students are expected to be active participants in their educational pursuits and in society.
Walden was established with the goal of becoming a school within, and for, the community.
Promoting equity, respecting diversity, democracy, and justice in our community are essential tenets of our school’s mission.
learning: EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, Academic
High academic and social standards are required and students are expected to accept responsibility and take ownership of actions in and outside the classroom.
Walden’s concept driven transdisciplinary curriculum encourages students to make connections and engage in creative problem solving and critical thinking.
