Since 1991, Aurora Waldorf School has offered a balanced age appropriate educational program to nearly 200 students in preschool through high school. September 2010 marked the inauguration of our Waldorf High School, beginning with a 9th grade, and we will add a grade each year over the next three years to build out a full high school. Aurora Waldorf is the only private, coeducational and non-sectarian school in the Southtowns that offers education for children from eighteen months to eighteen years of age.
