Our
Mission |
The Mission of the Walnut Square
School is to build a community of learners that includes children, staff, and
parents, to insure that all children achieve their full potential through
hands-on learning, and to empower students to become active thinkers and life
long learners.
The Walnut Square School
Community is committed to providing curricula and instruction which are
educationally appropriate for the K-2 child. We believe that hands-on
activities result in meaningful, authentic experiences and allow children to
engage in active learning that meets their developmental needs.

The
History of Walnut Square
|
Walnut
Square School and the tower clock were built in 1898. The school, which cost
$30,000 to build, was designed by Mr. C. Damon, who also designed the old Haverhill
City Hall on Main Street. The tower clock was crafted by Howard Edward, the
founder of the Waltham Watch Co. Walnut Square School, currently as K-2 school,
celebrated its centennial anniversary on September 19, 1998. At this time, the
tower clock, which was silenced in 1961 and now restored through the efforts of
the Walnut Square Tower Clock Foundation, Inc., rang out to welcome another 100
years of excellence in education.
