Prepared for LIFE
For more than 30 years, The Waldorf School of St. Louis has offered an inspiring, well-rounded education for children in Early Childhood through Primary School.
Learn more about Waldorf education from this 2022 episode of the Vance Crowe podcast, featuring Waldorf School of St. Louis faculty members Michiyo Kishi (Early Childhood Teacher) and Chris Jent (Grades Teacher and Waldorf alumnus). Over the course of their conversation, Michiyo and Chris discuss what sets Waldorf apart from other educational models, outline the three stages of child development, and explain how the Waldorf curriculum is tailored to meet children in each developmental stage.
Visit Us
The best way to experience Waldorf Education is to step onto our campus and feel it come alive around you. Breathe in the warm scent of freshly baked bread rising from an Early Childhood classroom. Hear children sing as they gather for morning circle. Watch busy hands shape beeswax and make watercolor bloom across the page. Stroll through our gardens, where vegetables, fruit trees, and native plants sing the song of the season. Visit our meadow, where children are free to build forts, balance on logs, invent imaginative worlds, and discover the wonders of nature through active outdoor play.
