A Place Where Your Child will be Truly Known
Parents want their children in a warm and nurturing environment where their child is truly known. One of the underlying values of Waldorf Education is that our humanity is built on and dependent upon relationships. Waldorf schools are uniquely positioned to provide sustained connection and learning, even during times of uncertainty. Our private elementary and middle school accomplishes this through a great deal of flexibility, creativity, and caring. Our play-based preschool and day summer camps help them to further build important motor and social skills.
Admissions Timeline
“I enjoy how Waldorf focuses on the whole child and experiential learning. I believe Waldorf Education helps foster self-confidence and inner strength in the child. Teaches beyond academic knowledge – teaches valuable life skills and gives a sense of community.”
Grade School Parent
“Some of the things we are interested in are the holistic attitude toward a child’s learning, focusing on development and long-term learning on an emotional, spiritual and intellectual level. We like that children learn through experiencing the outdoors, musical and artistic expression, home responsibilities, and being part of a community.”
Early Childhood Parent
“I love that Waldorf teaches the whole child: mind, body and spirit. I love that you teach in a way that allows all children to excel. I love that you teach an appreciation of nature and the world around us. I love that you’re more than just amazing academics — you bring depth to a child’s life and sense of self.”
