We've experienced PWS all the way from parent/child through graduating the high school. Waldorf education truly educates the head, heart, and hands. Our children are grounded, thoughtful, creative, well-adjusted people prepared to be in the world as problem solvers with deep compassion and clarity. I attribute this to the curriculum, teachers and values of PWS.

This school had no way of helping me when I was severely bullied. Has terrible math teaching ability. Basically, no science is being taught. Please check other options.

It's really liberal and a really tough workload, but it's so small that everyone knows everyone and it's very nice, reassuring, when you can call a person by their first name even if you are 3 grades apart.
