The Ethel Walker School

Learning at The Ethel Walker School is dynamic, joyful, and empowering. From our internationally recognized equestrian program to Walker’s Capabilities Approach — the academic philosophy that underpins all we do — our programs spark a love of discovery. Our all-girls environment fosters self-expression and resilience in and out of the classroom, equipping students to be confident, courageous, and prepared for the world — and for changing it. We’re all for girls and have been since 1911.
