Waldorf is one of the best choices we've made for our family. My first grader, who has pretty intense hyperactive ADHD has literally begged me to go to school this year on days when he was sick. This was not because of any special event, he just loves school that much, at a time when I'm starting to hear from kids in other schools how much they dread it. The staff and whole community is wonderful.

Our son is currently in the early childhood nursery program at Philly Waldorf and absolutely thriving. The teachers and staff are warm and empathetic, and there's open communication about what is happening at school and what we can be doing to support at home. Our son spends his weekend asking about his teachers and wanting to see them and he's always so excited when it's time to go back to school. We're so happy we made the choice to enroll at Waldorf.

It's not only the great classes and amazing teachers, the subjects you wouldn't learn anywhere else, it's the people. The entire school is a family, who are capable of amazing things when we all come together. My...

Our 6 year old son started “Kindergarten” - the Waldorf School’s mixed age (3-6 yrs) early childhood education program - a year ago. The school had just moved to its beautiful new campus. The kindergarten classrooms are in a brand new, light-flooded building surrounded by a garden with fruit trees....

Waldorf curriculum is beautiful and there are some extremely talented teachers at WSP. However, there are huge governance challenges with this school. The board is largely ineffective. The new Executive Director has been disappointing. Complaints go ignored. They only recently had their Faculty Chai...
