Walker’s girls are participants, not spectators. Athletics is an integral part of our girls’ experience. When young women train and compete, they rise to new challenges, step into leadership roles, and emerge physically and intellectually stronger, not only as individuals but also as team members. Student-athletes at Walker’s compete in the Founders League, a league comprised of highly-selective college preparatory schools, and nationally recognized as one of the most competitive and respected leagues in the country.
