"One of the principles in the Waldorf school is to educate young people so that they can bring to the fore in the right way the whole of their human potential, as well as developing the skills they need to take their proper place in the world."

~ Rudolf Steiner,
Founder, Waldorf Education

Waldorf education is the fastest growing independent school movement in the world, with an over 90-year track record that spans the globe. Waldorf School of the Peninsula is one of 180 Waldorf Schools in the United States and 900 worldwide. Waldorf education was developed by scientist and philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner to prepare children for a changing world by igniting passion for life-long learning and cultivating the capacities to act and think independently. 

Waldorf education is based on a comprehensive understanding of human development and provides a detailed, richly artistic curriculum that responds to and enhances the student’s developmental phases, from early childhood through high school. Waldorf education offers children of all ages the opportunity to thrive through a developmentally appropriate academic program integrated with the practical, fine and performing arts. Collaboration fosters the spirit of teamwork and achievement among classmates.  Relationship building nurtures a sense of connection, support and responsibility within the community.
