OUR MISSION

Country Day was founded in 1929 by a group of families who wanted an alternative to the traditional public, private and parochial schooling available in the New Orleans area. We are grateful to our founders, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Benjamin, Mrs. Ralph Boothby, Mrs. Russell Clark, Mrs. Thomas Denegre, Mr. Stuart Landry, Mr. Thomas Nichols, Mrs. Dorothy Pigman, Mrs. Fort Pipes, Mrs. John Pratt, Mrs. James W. Reily, Mrs. and Mrs. Edgar B. Stern, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Trautman, Mrs. C.S. Williams, Mrs. Robert M. Walmsley, Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Dantzler, and Mrs. Eli Watson. Great-grandchildren of many of these families attend our School today. The Stern family - also credited with the founding or advancement of Newcomb Nursery School and Dillard University - was instrumental in luring the founding head, Ralph Boothby from Hudson, Ohio, where he had briefly headed a school and begun to apply (as he had as head of the Department of Education at Antioch College) the progressive principles that were to be a hallmark of his new school.

Thanks and Welcome

Welcome to Walden School - Good School in Kentucky

 Welcome to Walden School - Good School in Kentucky 

History of This

Walden School was founded by Dr. Edward F. Vermillion in 1975. 

Walden students benefit from an intellectually challenging approach to preparing for college. Classes are small, independent work is encouraged, and the curriculum is rigorous and comprehensive. Walden offers a variety of AP classes which allow teachers to dig deeper into the nuances of the subject matter and provide students the opportunity to earn college credit. 

A major component of the High School curriculum is the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. Teachers and students interact in the classroom over the Walden wireless network – utilizing laptops, tablets, iPads and SMART Boards. Information is shared quickly and seamlessly, collaboration is easy and instantaneous, and feedback is given real-time. Through their daily interactions in the classroom and at home, students learn to use technology fluently and responsibly as a vehicle for creativity, learning, productivity, and communication. 

Walden’s continuity of education is integrated with athletics and extracurricular activities designed to build well-rounded individuals who understand the importance of finding the appropriate balance between mind and body. Walden graduates enter the world as creative and innovative thinkers who value diversity and compassion and appreciate the role they have to play as the culturally and ethically minded scholars, citizens, and leaders of our globalized society.

Walden recognizes that Middle School students are in transition. For that reason we begin Middle School with the 5th grade. We see that year as an extra opportunity to gradually transition your student from the single, self-contained lower school classroom to the more departmentalized subject-area classroom setting. At that age, they are ready for more independence, and the additional guidance they receive as Middle School students will help prepare them for the rigors of Walden High School’s college-preparatory program.

Walden has a vibrant Middle School band program, and offers district, regional, and state-level opportunities for academic competition.

The Middle School faculty works as a team, emphasizing the cross-curricular relationships among the academic subject areas.  Middle School students also receive the benefits from "looping," the practice of having the same teacher for the same subject for two or more consecutive years.  By working together for consecutive school years, teachers and students can develop a bond of trust and stability to explore content more deeply. This in-depth understanding of curriculum for teachers and content for students maximizes instructional time and provides differientiation and/or enrichment based on the needs of each student. Looping, coupled with small classes, ensures students receive a high level of individual attention that provides many academic as well as emotional benefits.  Walden eighth grade graduates demonstrate confidence and maturity that prepare them for the challenges of high school.  


The Middle School faculty utilizes wireless computers and Smart Boards that are interactive with student devices; laptops, tablets, etc. Each 8th Grade student is required to bring his or her own device to utilize this system which allows access to a wealth of educational resources. Class notes and lessons can be stored, information transmitted, and homework and tests can be web based.

Middle School Hours:
8:00 am - 3:00 pm, Monday - Thursday
8:00 am - 1:00 pm, Friday

Students are encouraged to lead a well-rounded life while at Walden. Beginning in Kindergarten, we provide a wide range of athletic sports and intramural activities. We believe that every student benefits from being a part of a team that teaches lessons about commitment, competition, motivation, respect and interdependence. For that reason, Walden has a no-cut policy in all sports. Our goal is for every student to be physically active.

We would like to invite you to Submit your Photos from any Walden event you attend. In doing so, you are giving us permission to use these photos for the yearbook ...

Best Regards !!!

Girl's school in New Jersey : Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart

AMAZING :  Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart - Girls' school in New Jersey

  Think Critically :)) 

Why an all girls' school ? 

Girls' schools teach girls that there is enormous potential and power in being a girl.

Co-ed schools simply cannot teach this. At an all girls school a girl can find her voice and uncover her capabilities and potential in ways that have nothing to do with how she looks or whom she dates. All girls schools create a culture of achievement, discovery and peer leadership.

• Opportunities for girls to learn leadership skills are more plentiful at all-girl schools.
• Graduates of girls' schools and/or women's colleges account for a third of female board members of Fortune 500 companies and 25% of female members of Congress.
• Girls at single-sex schools surpass their co-ed peers in reading, writing and science. They also demonstrate higher educational aspirations, spend more time on homework and are more likely to aspire to careers in engineering and science. 
• 84 percent of all-girl school graduates felt they were better prepared for college writing assignments than their co-ed peers.
• All leadership roles at all-girl schools are taken by girls.
• When girls go to single-sex schools, they stop being the audience and become the players.
• At girls' schools, every girl learns to take on academic challenges, express her thoughts and opinions and participate in new learning experiences.
• "As a college professor, I could identify students from girls' schools with a 90 percent accuracy rate on the first day of class. They were the young women whose hands shot up in the air, who were not afraid to defend their positions, and who assumed that I would be interested in their perspectives." - Robin Robertson, Ph.D.
• Educators at all-girl schools capitalize on girls' unique learning styles.
• During the key adolescent years [12-16], single-sex settings better accommodate the developmental needs of students."

New York s' School : Pointing Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School

Welcome to LREI ( Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School ).  At LREI (Little Red School House & Elisabeth Irwin High School) we understand that students learn best when they are engaged. That’s why our 14-year progressive program is rooted in a fundamental love of learning and a connection to the real world. Our teachers, experts in their fields, encourage children to use their curiosity, compassion and imagination to think deeply and to participate in finding solutions to real problems. As our founder Elisabeth Irwin put it, we “take students out of the classroom and into the world.” Almost a century later, we’re committed to keeping her progressive ideals alive. We understand that the world around us — particularly our ever-vibrant home, New York City — is the best place to learn. You’ll find our students asking questions about green design at the High Line, filming a documentary on Coney Island’s boardwalk and volunteering at the local food pantry we’ve partnered with for years. Our goal is to nurture each student’s innate curiosity and to help them gain a sense of purpose and a lifelong desire to grow. In the early 1900s, Elisabeth Irwin, John Dewey and other progressive educators developed a new educational approach based on active learning instead of passive absorption of facts. “The complacent formalism of schools, its uncritical and therefore uncreative spirit, must be replaced by an honest hospitality to experimentation,” Irwin wrote. LREI's history Elisabeth Irwin founded the Little Red School in 1921 as an alternative public elementary school. Parents and students loved the new dynamic learning community. It was an exciting place to learn, with a palpable spirit of curiosity, creativity and challenge. However, during the Depression, the Board of Education could not afford to keep the school open. Parents pledged their own resources, establishing Little Red School House as an independent elementary school. In 1941, the program expanded to include a high school at 40 Charlton Street. For nearly 70 years, we have been a pre-K through twelfth grade school: LREI. LREI remains faithful to the spirit of its founder — testing new ideas, finding new variations on tried and true principles, and challenging our students to discuss what Elisabeth Irwin called “possible new truths.” Our students are active learners and thoughtful decision-makers. Our faculty remains involved in every aspect of our program, and works together with enthusiasm and astuteness to conceive of fresh responses to students’ needs.
