THE WALKER HONOR CODE

Through Honor Codes in each division, Walker provides an environment in which our community learns to value honesty and respect others. All students and faculty are guided by the belief that honor is a way of life rather than a set of rules to follow, and the expectation is that our graduates will carry these values with them after they leave our campus.

Read more
The Walker Honor Code’s four principles are: truth, respect of property, academic honesty and defending the Honor Code. These principles require students to be truthful in their relationships with each other and faculty – and respectful of each other’s property – for the express purpose of making the school a better place.

Our philosophy on learning:

TRY EVERYTHING

How will you know what’s possible if you don’t try? That’s the question we ask our students. Because we know that exploration is the clearest path to self-discovery. Here, you can star in the Fall Musical, represent your school on the soccer field and design your own genetic research project. We encourage our students to step outside the box and challenge themselves to be bold. That’s how you grow.

ACADEMICS

This is where students turn curiosity into possibility.

At Walker, from Primary through Upper School, our academics build a foundation in critical thinking, discovery and skills mastery that paves the way for success in college and beyond. As Cobb County’s top school for STEM education, our students get unparalleled learning opportunities. In our Warren Science & Technology Building, equipped with state-of-the-art labs, research studios, and even a garden roof, students roll up their sleeves and dig deep into advanced science, research and engineering. Pair that with a robust humanities curriculum that teaches them to ask the big questions and to speak, write and think for themselves, and that’s how you create students who will be successful wherever they go.

ARTS

Here, the arts aren't just elective classes.

Our students have tons of opportunities to explore their artistic interests and hone their crafts. Performing and presenting artistic works starts from the very beginning in our Primary School, where students take the stage and work in the studio. By Middle School, students self-select which fine art they would like to focus on, deepening their skills and knowledge. In Upper School, 70 percent of our students are involved in the arts — from full musical productions to gallery-showcased visual art— they’re choosing how to express themselves and what projects to pursue. Along the way, Walker students have real artists as their guides. Our arts faculty are writers, painters, puppeteers, sculptors and more.

ATHLETICS

We take sports seriously. And our athletes even more so.

At Walker, athletics starts with movement, play and teamwork in the Primary and Lower Schools. By Middle and Upper School, 70 percent of our students are involved in at least one sport.

With 16 sports, more than 50 teams, first-class facilities and coaches who challenge our athletes to be their best, Walker offers a competitive athletics program where students are challenged to compete, grow and succeed. Our teams have won championships, and more than 60 Walker students have earned athletic scholarships. But just as important are the lessons in teamwork, resilience and healthy competition that stay with our athletes long after they have left the field.
