School Notes:
  • Waldorf education is a holistic and developmental approach that integrates academic, practical and artistic elements as it addresses the changing needs of the growing child and maturing adolescent. Waldorf schools engage the heart, hands and mind with a lively, experiential curriculum rich in the basics: literature, history, languages, the arts, the social and natural sciences. Olympia Waldorf School is non-denominational and open to children of all cultural, racial and religious backgrounds. Incorporated in 1985 as a non-profit organization, OWS owns the property of its current campus including a schoolhouse built in 1914 which is on our state’s historical register, a newer middle grades building built in 1999, and a brand new Kinderhaus that hosts two of our three kindergarten classrooms.
