Windsong School is an initiative school working to establish accredited Waldorf Education in the Spokane region. For the 2023-2024 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 1-7 (and 8th grade the following year) as well as six specialty subjects.We have approximately 155 students currently enrolled.

Our school is located above the scenic Spokane River on the historic 76 acre campus, woven through with antique walkways, quiet tree-lined streets. We enjoy trail access to the Spokane River and abundant nature opportunities.

The person in this position will assist the lead teacher with the overall rhythm and tasks in the classrooms, as well as prep and clean-up.

Candidates must be warm, patient, and have experience working in an early childhood setting. Knowledge of Waldorf educational principles, techniques, and methods is preferred. A willingness to learn about and practice Waldorf principles in the classroom and follow the classroom teacher's direction is required.

Points to consider before applying: 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.

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.
