The Walden Way

I have watched the growth and development of the Walden Charter School since it was just an idea in the mind of its founder, Diana West. I know I am not alone when I say that I absolutely love this school. The past few years I have often heard a phrase repeated, "oh, that's the Walden Way." This phrase is usually accompanied by a nod or twinkle in the eye that seems to indicate that both the speaker and the listener know exactly what that means.

Since I decided to call this blog "The Walden Way" I have been intrigued with what the Walden way means to different people. I believe it means that this is a place where diversity in welcomed and embraced, where the routine is a bit more laid back and casual than in many schools, and where we are constantly striving to have a family-type atmosphere. I would love to hear other ideas and experiences that embody "The Walden Way."

With warm Walden regards,
