School Reviews

Fantastic school. The kids come out so well-prepared for life - so balanced, emotionally aware, and also academically excellent. The Waldorf approach meets kids where they are, developmentally, instead of forcing them to learn at a state-mandated rate (sight words for kindergarten students??? 3 digit addition in first grade???). It seems slow but the deliberate early work in the lower grades pays off in a huge way towards 7 and 8th grade.
