School Notes

  • Picture your children in a school where they are encouraged to explore their interests and ask questions that ignite their innate passion for learning. Imagine a school where they are supported as they tap into their individual gifts and uncover their full potential. We help our students explore their world, ask challenging questions, and find meaningful answers. In the process, they develop a passion for learning and an instinct for independent thinking that lasts a lifetime. Watch what happens when your children are encouraged to think for themselves, take risks, and try new things- with teachers and parents partnering in the process, and the whole school community providing unwavering support.
  • Waldorf Schools offer a unified and holistic approach to education aimed to producing creative, secure, free thinking individuals who can one day take a responsible place in adult society. The Waldorf curriculum corresponds to the natural stages of a child's development so that form and content parallel the child's own growth. A waldorf education integrates all the standard academic subjects witha a broad background in science and humanities and a consideration of moral principles as well as physical skills.

Waldorf is truly a special place. Our son has been there since 1st grade and he literally calls it his 'favorite place' on Earth. It can have that type of impact. The campus, the teachers, the feeling of community... it's just amazing.With dedicated teachers who inspire curiosity and creativity, the students thrive in a very nurturing environment. Highly recommend.
