Walden Academy Home of the River Hawks

Be sure to utilize online registration for all grades this year! If you are new to the area or would just like to transfer your student to our school and you are not currently enrolled be sure to enroll on line with the link below for the 2025-2026 school year!

Once you have clicked the Open Enrollment Button please click "Parent Sign Up" on the left hand side.

Then click "I am new to this district, and have never had any children enrolled here. I would like to register a child here for the first time."(If you already have a student enrolled please still follow the steps above and choose "I am new to this district")

This will direct you to the New Parent Information form as well as the Student Enrollment Application.

 

Follow the enrollment form(s) all the way through, submit, and we will give you a call when we have recieved it!

Applicants will be given preference for admission in this order:

1. Existing Walden Academy students
2. Siblings of existing Walden students
3. Children of Walden teachers, faculty, and founders
4. Children who reside in the Willows Unified School District
5. All other applicants

If the number of applications exceeds the number of available slots, a public random drawing will be held and applicants will be placed on the waiting list in the order in which they were drawn. The time, date, and location of the drawing will be announced 72 hours prior to the drawing.

In the event of a public random drawing, district residents will receive a 2:1 weighting factory in the drawing and the following categories of students will be exempt:

• Existing Walden students
• Siblings of existing Walden students
• Children of teachers and founders

If your child is placed on the waiting list, we will call you and send you a letter if a vacancy occurs. You will then have 72 hours to enroll your child -- if you fail to do so, we will contact the parents of the next child on the list.

If you have not already done so please make sure to fill out the Online Intent to Return Enrollment forms for your children who will be returning for the 25-26 school year.
The closing date is April 25th.
If we do not see one from you we may be inclined to fill the class with another student.
