Found Denver Waldorf quite by chance. Our three children attend and look forward to each day. The teachers/administration are wonderful, creative, thoughtful, disciplined, highly trained. Such a gem of a school and we are so grateful to go there.

A completely different approach to learning. Instead of being bombarded with a different subject every hour, for usually 7 hours, you gracefully learn about one subject for four to five weeks. It's a very peaceful approach to learning and I'm truly grateful for the experience.

This is a great school that works on developing all aspects of my kids. It isn't just the facts that they can regurgitate but more about problem solving, working with others, and their personal responsibility and impact that they have. The curriculum is age-appropriate and challenging and the teachers have a genuine interest in each childs growth.

I was a student at the Denver Waldorf School from 1st through 6th grade.One of the main problems with the school is the teachers ignore problems. They blame it on students, parents, and everyone leaving the school, or just say there are not any problems at all! The teachers punish the entire class w...

A previous reviewer on greatschools.org summed it up perfectly with “DWS was spectacular at what they did well, and terrible at what they did poorly, with little receptivity to feedback and change” and “behavioral issues got worse as the years progressed”. Sadly, I can attest the school has done abs...
