It’s How We Teach That Makes Us Different
Inspiring academic excellence, artistic expression and critical thinking in students since 1973.
At the Cincinnati Waldorf School, we offer a developmentally appropriate, experiential approach to education which ignites and inspires life-long learning. A Waldorf education prepares children for our changing world by enabling students to fully develop their capacities in an environment that cultivates freedom to act and think.

WALDORF TURNS 100!
Waldorf turns 100 this year and CWS is excited to be part of the celebration! The first Waldorf school was founded in Stuttgart, Germany in 1919. Waldorf made its way to the United States in 1928 with the opening of the Rudolf Steiner School in New York City. Today there are over 1,100 Waldorf schools in more than 80 countries. This year the children of CWS have been busy creating postcards to send to schools all over the world! For more information about the postcard campaign please visit Waldorf-100!
BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH GIVING
“Giving is the transaction that unites human beings on a higher level. In giving, we almost always feel joined in community toward achieving a social goal that has implications far into the future. . .” -Siegfried E. Finser, Founder, RSF Foundation
At the Cincinnati Waldorf School, we view giving much like we do the education of our students- through a lens that takes into account the whole community and the full realm of possibilities to grow and thrive. We hold a tremendous amount of responsibility in the fulfillment of our mission and we’re privileged to have a devoted corps of donors and volunteers who are dedicated to supporting our goals. Contributors from our community give both financial and time resources- sponsoring events, participating on special event committees and even helping us raise funds for special initiatives. We are grateful for the countless contributions by our community!

When I first began teaching at CWS I was deeply impressed by the effect the curriculum had on our students. The Cincinnati Waldorf School not only educates children to be the leaders of tomorrow, but helps them to lead with their hearts.
Connie DavisCWS encourages the development of the authentic individual.Her teachers encourage her to approach her education with curiosity and wonder. Words can hardly express how much we value the positive changes we have seen in our daughter since she started at CWS
Lisa GrayCWS fosters an environment where children do not feel undue pressure and stress and are nurtured to have an authentic intellectual curiosity and desire to learn.
Bryan DickerhoofMy Waldorf education instilled in me a genuine love of learning and curiosity about the world that I still feel on a daily basis. There is something truly special about the Waldorf philosophy and the kind of foundation it lays for the rest of a student’s life. I still feel a deep connection to my former teachers, classmates, and the rest of the Waldorf community!
