We educate the whole child, inspiring them to be remarkable, curious and creative!
REMARKABLE
Our exceptional Waldorf curriculum provides an engaging, supportive, and remarkable environment that emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning where technology is limited until the middle school years, encouraging students to fully connect with the world around them, with nature, with each other, and with themselves.
CURIOUS
Our Waldorf school and academic curriculum encourage curiosity by creating space and time for student questions, active exploration, and thoughtful observation. This innovative culture brings forth critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
CREATIVE
Our Waldorf school and curriculum are designed to encourage creativity and engage students' natural capacities through a wide range of artistic activities, including music, painting, sculpture, drama, and movement, and these skills are fully integrated into academic life.
Parent & Caregiver Tours are generally offered at 9:30 am on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, and last between 30-45 minutes. We believe there is no such thing as bad weather, so when planning your visit, please dress for the outdoors!
