Walnut Elementary Education Center’s mission is to develop socially responsible learners who: Create, Collaborate, Communicate & Critically Think through the rigorous academic integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) within the Math/Science and Visual/Performing Art Magnets.

The Turlock Unified School District’s Renaissance & Discovery Magnet programs provide students with unique, specialized educational experiences through a S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) lens. The Renaissance magnet uses the visual and performing arts to enrich their curriculum, while the Discovery Math/Science magnet expands instruction through the lens of math and science. Each magnet program offers specialized elective offerings in grades 2 -6 that are designed to equip students with 21st century skills necessary for college and career.  Parent involvement is welcomed at Walnut Elementary.  Both magnets hold special school-wide activities open to all students and parents throughout the school year.  We invite you to join us in supporting our school through one of these many volunteer opportunities!
