We, the Walker School staff, believe that the primary purpose of our school is to challenge each child to reach his or her fullest academic, creative, emotional, physical, and social potential.

We will achieve this by:
* the incorporation of best practices based on current research about how children learn;
* the development of a positive self concept and an appreciation of cultural diversity and individual differences;
* the providing of a positive educational climate generating an excitement for learning within a safe and supportive environment;
* the encouragement of total staff communication and by the involvement of the total school community--encouraging active communication and participation with all parents, staff, and students.
