"Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom."

– Rudolf Steiner

What is a Waldorf Education?

Created over a century ago by Rudolf Steiner, the Waldorf curriculum integrates the arts, academics, hands-on learning, and a connection to the natural world. By catering to each child's developmental stages, students develop into free-thinking, socially responsible individuals who are ready to meet life's challenges.

One of the many gifts a Waldorf education offers is one of parent enrichment through class meetings. These are an essential part of a Waldorf education. Coming together in this way, builds the parent community as families get to know one another. Last night our third-grade class came together to discuss their upcoming farm trip, view the children’s main lesson books, and participate in artistic work. Parents were able to experience a Waldorf education hallmark, wet-on-wet watercolor painting. Take a look at their finished pieces.
