Walden International School - Oakville is located on the grounds of the former Glenburnie School site, a private school founded in 1985. When its founder retired in 2018, the Perugini family purchased the Oakville campus, who had established the first Walden International School in Brampton in 2016. The Oakville site's original building was constructed as a family home by a Swedish immigrant who came to Canada seeking an improved educational system for his son, and the architecture of the present school reflects this heritage to support the Walden educational program.
The school operates under the motto Making Good People, aiming to help every child discover that goodness leads to greatness and to create an environment dedicated to making good people. Walden kids are described as resilient, curious, giving and good, and the learning culture emphasizes kindness, respect and presence as central to a meaningful life and to cultivating globally responsible citizens. Open House is listed as a community event to experience classrooms, meet educators and see the learning environment in action, for example on October 25.
