Academics

Meet Our Faculty

Our faculty and staff consist of over 180 teachers, staff and administrators who form a community of dedicated professionals devoted to helping each student reach his or her full potential. They put in many additional hours helping our students with their studies, projects, clubs and sporting events. The average Walker teacher has been here for 17 years, and 70% of our lead teachers hold advanced degrees. 

Walker faculty know their students  their strengths and interests, their fears and weaknesses, their abilities and talents. And with this knowledge, they kindle each child's innate curiosity and thus, their drive to learn. They challenge and guide them, coach and help them chart their individual path to success. It's a relationship that begins in Primary School and continues to graduation and beyond.
Walker teachers are supported in trying new things  and they're always trying new things.
