Getting Acquainted
Parents are expected to visit the school prior to applying for admission. Introduction to Waldorf Education programs provide an opportunity for parents to observe classes, view samples of student work, and learn more about the school. A schedule of these programs is in the enrollment packet or available from the school office. Visits can be arranged individually with the Enrollment Director, Stacey Alston.
A completed application includes a $75 application fee, student photograph, school records, and a teacher recommendation. Families who apply will receive a copy of Waldorf Education: A Family Guide. Preschool/Kindergarten applicants will come together for an observation morning in March; grade school applicants will visit the classroom for three consecutive days at a mutually agreed upon time. A parent interview is also necessary for admission to the grade school. Immediate enrollment is available throughout the year.
