Serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, the school prides itself on creating a nurturing and inclusive environment that supports the academic, social, and emotional growth of all students. Reflecting the rich cultural diversity of its surrounding neighborhood, Leith Walk emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and lifelong learning to prepare students for success in high school, college, and beyond.
