Description
The Walden School is a Montessori-based private school in Media serving children from 16 months through fifth grade. With a warm, nurturing community and an individualized approach to learning, students are encouraged to explore their interests, build independence, and develop a lifelong love of learning through hands-on experiences and supportive guidance.
Students are empowered to follow their natural curiosity while dedicated teachers nurture each child’s academic, social, and emotional growth. Montessori classrooms provide the freedom to learn at each child’s own pace, fostering confidence, creativity, critical thinking, and a strong sense of responsibility. With bright, welcoming classrooms and a close-knit community, The Walden School creates an environment where every child feels valued, inspired, and supported to reach their full potential.

We cannot say enough good things about The Walden School. Both of our children started in preschool and are currently in Kindergarten and 4th grade at Walden. The Preschool and Kindergarten program provides a nurturing and peaceful environment that is rich in academics. Each child is valued and treated with respect, while being individually challenged academically. The children are able to attend a Friendship Group which helps them build social and emotional skills and peaceful conflict resolution. In elementary, the children learn time management skills, public speaking along with continued social and emotional learning, and are encouraged to get to know themselves as learners. This helps them build a foundation for confidence and success — not just academically, but will prepare them for life. Walden is a staple in our lives, a second home to our children, helping to shape them in becoming upstanding citizens. The best testament of our experience is how happy our children are and how they look forward to going to school each day in an environment where they feel valued.
