The Seattle Waldorf School was founded in 1980 and today, is spread across three campuses throughout Seattle. Its main campus is in the Meadowbrook sub-neighborhood within the Lake City neighborhood of Seattle.
Seattle Waldorf is a private school that serves students from preschool through 12th grade and says that Waldorf graduates earn more doctorates than the national average for independent schools.
The school offers a unique learning environment that places an emphasis on experiential learning and the natural world. By design, the curriculum cultivates a deep love of learning within the students as they view their subjects through multiple lenses. The curriculum is modeled after the one developed in Germany by Emil Molt and Rudolf Steiner more than 100 years ago.
Seattle Waldorf has small class sizes with a 1:12 teacher-to-student ratio. Students are immersed in interconnected, in-depth studies in the areas of science, math, writing, literature, world languages, history, geography, music, theater and dance.
The school is tuition-based and reports that around 38% of its student body receives financial aid in some form. This school is committed to maintaining a student body that accurately reflects the world around them, and tuition discounts are offered with support from the school’s targeted annual fundraising.
The Seattle Waldorf School has built a reputation of excellence. It consistently produces creative thinkers who are taught by highly-qualified Waldorf teachers. The environment is more than just a school—it's a community.

Seattle Waldorf School is an amazing high school with caring faculty that foster their students to become incredible scholars.
9/21/2017
A rich, healthy learning environment that teaches to the whole child. This school isn't about prepping a child to pass tests and get into a name college. This school is about fostering a life long love of learning and prepping a child to be an engaged, thoughtful citizen of the world. There is no other school like it.
2/2/2016
Teachers are devoted . Some are the best you will ever have. Some are not good. The problem is that you stay with the same main teacher for 8 years and same specialty teachers throughout.

We have been a part of the Seattle Waldorf School for three years. We made the decision to move our son to the school when he was in 5th grade. If I were to articulate the main reason we needed a change, we were looking for a school where our son would be fully "seen" by the teachers and the communi...

When looking for a kindergarten, we wanted a place where our daughter could continue being a child, be outdoors every day and feel taken care of. 9 years later, we are still with Waldorf. It has enabled a carefree and a stress-free childhood full of joy, and the ability to grow up in a supportive an...
