Join us for a summer of academic discovery!

Providing a summer of academic discovery, The Ethel Walker School’s All For Girls Summer Academy is where curiosity meets exploration and fun. Our vibrant in-person program for grades 5-8 is an immersive learning experience on our picturesque campus in the Farmington Valley, while grades 9 and 10 connect and collaborate in cutting-edge online spaces.
All courses have been designed by Walker’s renowned faculty members — educators who turn every lesson into an adventure and every student into a fearless innovator. Coordinator of Academic Summer Programs Erin Ott comments: "All For Girls Summer Academy is a great way for girls to stay engaged in learning over the summer as they get to know Walker’s fabulous faculty. Students will learn, play, create, code, and more. The program fosters community and sparks curiosity while empowering girls to reach their full potential."
