About Our School

We embrace Waldorf principles in our intimate microschool setting, creating a learning environment that honors childhood and supports development of whole human beings. Through storytelling, artistic creation, and meaningful work, students engage deeply with content while developing imagination and critical thinking. Our multi-age communities foster mentorship and social responsibility. Students graduate with strong academics, creative abilities, and the moral foundations to make positive contributions in the world.


Educational Philosophy: We believe students need to feel they belong before they can learn at their best. We create an inclusive community where all students feel welcome.
