“Having experienced academia and public education, I was delighted to find the Waldorf system. To provide quality education, creativity, nature, and movement need to be woven into the pace, content, and heart of each day. This allows educators to focus on our youth and to equip them to excel. Being where we value our students’ journeys is like coming home.”
