Walden School
Walden School is a nonprofit, nationally recognized educational institution which provides comprehensive treatment and educational services for deaf youth between the ages of 8 and 21 who are challenged by severe social and emotional difficulties. These may be the result of childhood trauma, mental illness, and/or organic dysfunctions. Walden School offers school-calendar and 12 month residential services, as well as an option for day programming only. Walden School is now the only accredited residential treatment program in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words walden and/or school:
“White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
