Walter Murray houses Saskatoon Public Schools' designated program for gifted students in Grades 9 to 12. The SAGE Program is for students who have high ability, an excellent academic record and a strong work ethic. The program is based on the integration of concepts across subject areas and the development of skills such as critical and creative thinking, communication and presentation, synthesis and analysis. This integration and interdisciplinary approach allows Advanced Program students to master subject content.

Walter Murray is also home to Saskatoon Public Schools high school French Immersion Program. Secondary immersion is for students who have taken Kindergarten to Grade 8 French Immersion or who have equivalent fluency. Students take three to five courses per year where French is the language of instruction. Students schedule the remainder of their courses individually. Students who complete the French Immersion Program in its entirety receive a bilingual certificate.
