History

Sandy Bank
editIn 1998, Walden purchased the Administrative Building of the Rose Tree Media School District. Originally the Sandy Bank School, the building was built in 1904 with an addition in 1924. The building was substantially renovated to suite the needs of Walden. The first classes were held for the 1999-2000 school year.
