Admissions

Welcome to Warren-Walker School!

Warren-Walker School is a special place where children can achieve to their highest potentials and discover their own unique talents. As a mother of two, and like most parents, I want the best academically for my children. Understanding that this choice is an investment for their future, we are fortunate to be a part of Warren-Walker School.

The children at Warren-Walker School are loved, nurtured and held to high standards of character. They are part of a bigger family and respect and appreciate one another. As well as having a rigorous academic program, students are exposed to the arts, foreign language, technology, and athletics which makes school exciting and challenging every day.

I invite and encourage you to visit the school during one of our Open House dates or schedule a private tour to see our students, our faculty, and our community at work. Come see why Warren-Walker School has continued to grow and excel for 80 years!

Regards,

Caroline Fisk
Director of Admissions
