The Waldorf School of Philadelphia is proud of our reputation as a vibrant learning community where education is based on a deep understanding of the developing child. Our interdisciplinary approach develops our students’ ability to think critically and to make a difference, as leaders with a strong moral compass.
We apply the innovative educational philosophy and curriculum developed by Rudolf Steiner in a contemporary context, and offer a comprehensive liberal arts education. We uphold a standard of excellence and integrity in academics, arts, and human relationships.
Our school honors and values each child and family and actively celebrates and works to deepen diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in our community, through self-study, collaborative work, and a robust financial aid program. We strive to deepen our understanding of each other and the world through the lenses of heritage, identity, and social justice.
The Waldorf School of Philadelphia is a full member of AWSNA, the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America, and WECAN, the Waldorf Association of Early Childhood in North America. Learn about the seven principles of AWSNA here.
