Walden School of Liberal Arts as the winner of $5,000!
Each fall we show our support for back-to-school season with a giveaway to help one school jump start their education efforts! This year we are thrilled to congratulate Walden School of Liberal Arts as the winner of $5,000!
Walden is a small PreK-12 grade charter school nestled at the foot of the Wasatch mountains near the mouth of Provo Canyon in Utah. A free public charter school, it provides an engaging, academically challenging student-centered environment. They base their program around two internationally celebrated educational models that prepare students to thrive in a global community—Montessori for grades K-8, and International Baccalaureate for grades 9-12. All "Waldenites" are inspired to think deeply and creatively as they celebrate and explore the extraordinary world around them.
Spencer Johnson, a proud Walden parent, nominated the school and shared his experience saying,
"Walden works alongside parents to empower children with life skills like cleaning up after themselves, being kind to others, and caring for the environment. They even helped our daughter figure out how to close a zip-top bag—a small skill, I know, but an impactful one nonetheless. When all is said and done, Walden is what education should be: a safe and comfortable space for collaborative learning and personal development. We really are just so lucky to have found this school for our children and I'm so happy that they'll be receiving this additional funding."
