Windsong School is an initiative school working to establish accredited Waldorf Education in the Spokane region. For the 2022-2023 school year, we are pleased to offer a robust parent-child program, a thriving early childhood program, and an expanding grades program that includes grades 1-6 as well as six specialty subjects.

Our school is located above the scenic Spokane River on the historic Mukogawa U.S. campus, woven through with antique walkways, quiet tree-lined streets, and dignified historic officers’ quarters. We enjoy trail access to the Spokane River and abundant nature opportunities.

New Windsong faculty and staff members will join a fun-loving, hardworking, and sincere faculty, be supported by a friendly and efficient administrative team, and lead a passionate and engaged parent body.

Points to consider before applying to Windsong School:

Windsong School’s Early Childhood Program is recognized by the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN), and the school’s mission includes attaining membership in the Association of Waldorf Schools North America (AWSNA).

Windsong School has experienced extraordinary growth since its founding almost 12 years ago. Our workspace and campus are unconventionally laid out. This situation leads to opportunities for familiarity, much student and staff interaction, and requires a high degree of cultivated and committed camaraderie from all staff members. The benefits are manifold, but those who do not possess strong interpersonal skills may find themselves unable to enjoy the busy atmosphere. Additionally, our school may eventually move from its current site.

Our mission to make Waldorf education accessible to all and the rapid school growth we’ve seen over the past years have cultivated an environment of financial prudence. A degree of resourcefulness and an ability to use simplicity as a tool will be required.
