Wholesome humanistic arts education that doesn't push intellectualization too early. Kindergarten is magical there.

Beautiful campus , wonderful faculty , brilliant curriculum. Lovely Waldorf school on many acre campus serving children from early childhood through high school. Arts, woodworking, language, drama, wilderness programs, music and handwork sewing, knitting, fiber arts are highlights of the education offered. Lovey festivals and ceremonies throughout the year brings calming rhythm to the school year. Recommended for families who want to educate not just the mind but the heart and soul of their children .A Santa Fe Waldorf school education feeds the heart, hands and head.

Excellent teachers--very dynamic. A creative and supportive environment, along with a very sweet campus. Small class sizes are a real plus--everyone gets the attention they need. The kids are engaged--you don't see the burnout here that has become so commonplace in the one-size-fits-all mentality of American education. The kids really develop critical thinking skills and high self-esteem.

All 3 of my children have been schooled in the Waldorf curriculum their entire education. This curriculum is diverse and deep and offers students an opportunity to learn more about themselves through academics, wilderness experiences, handwork (knitting, sewing, carding and dyeing wool, etc...) wood...
