Davis Waldorf School Photo - In Waldorf education there is a saying "there is no education without relation." A low teacher-to-student ratio allows teachers to spend time with each student, and even more importantly to create a lasting bond. Because our teachers "loop" they stay with the class for an extended period of time, usually 4-5 years and occasionally longer.
