Walden Center & School

Walden is an arts-based progressive, teacher-run elementary   school. Our curriculum combines developmentally appropriate expectations with challenging units of study. The school's environment enhances each child's academic, emotional, social, creative and physical growth.

Parents and educators founded Walden Center and School in 1958 to create a learning environment that treats artistic expression as an essential element of every child's academic experience.

The Walden staff supports experiential learning, cooperative endeavor, creativity and appreciation of personal expression within a broader community. Children and adults at Walden value the racial, social, ethnic and economic diversity of the East Bay within the school's inclusive, multicultural learning environment. We strive to have Walden reflect all aspects of the diversity of the surrounding community.

Walden is a member of EBISA (East Bay Independent Schools Assoc.).
