The school did a wonderful job developing all aspects of my son. The teachers have a deep and unique understanding of human development that allows them to introduce the curriculum in a way that meets the children at the appropriate developmental stage. The integration of the arts with academics is particular to Waldorf schools. My son was well prepared not only for college but to continue his development as a caring compassionate human being.

I attended the school for a total of six years. The whole school community is amazing. The lessons keep kids engaged and the amount of outdoor time they get helps build creativity. If you are on the edge about sending your child here I highly recommend it.
