Waldorf School

The Jury is still out for me.My sons first Month in 5th grade was a challange.The bad weather days the students are sent out in the rain. A bully pulled my son shirt to get his attention about his Violyn playing. The teacher said oh the bully was so helpful to the others in the class before.My son does not feel safe or trusted. Health reasons he has missed 10 days so far. I took him from a school in NYC for this?

Our son attended the parent/toddler program for 1 year and 2 years of nursery. The Waldorf School is a warm and nurturing environment for both children and parents. Part of the benefit is all the "learning" the parents receive in early childhood development and understanding their basic needs. As different or extreme as it may seem to the outsider, we are more than happy to reinforce the guidelines that set for us at school and at home. The Waldorf/Steiner philosophy has enlightened us and certainly has made a huge impact on our lives. While we are not currently at the school, we still employ many of the Waldorf practices we learned while there and have maintained many close relationships with the children, parents and teachers.

Waldorf truly deeloped my son into the man he is today. Students are really guided to become responsible, cultivated citizens, to embrace diversity, see multiple points of view and develop their own strengths and abilities. Waldorf does all the stuff that others only have in their mission statements!

I did not care for this school at all. The environment was not fun or friendly. It was more of an environment for discipline. The problem with this approach is that the teacher (s) did not first establish any relationship or any sort of trust with the child and before you know it, they are repremanding the children and sending them out of the room.

This is a wonderful school. This is my Son's second year in the school. The teachers are great and follow up with parents on a regular basis. The students are well behaved and show maturity beyond their ages. Wonderful, I will send another child here if I had one.

The diversity of the student body (cultural, religious & ethnic) is a great mix. The school is a welcoming, safe learning environment. My 2nd grader loves going to school every day.
