Quotes

”...Waldorf education remains to become better known to Americans. Other independent educational movements, much less thoroughgoing in their attempts to integrate at every level of education art, science, and an appreciation of the fully human, have curiously been given much more attention. At a time of searching and reappraisal in American education, the Waldorf Movement with its unique understanding of the education of the child and its years of teaching practice and institutional experience deserves the informed consideration of those genuinely concerned with education and the development of human wholeness.”

Admissions

Affording CWS

To increase flexibility in our tuition structure, the Tuition Adjustment Committee evaluates financial aid applications and decides upon individual tuition agreements. The Board of Trustees sets the total amount available for tuition adjustment. Applications remain confidential and are viewed only by the Tuition Adjustment Committee. The committee informs the families of its decision and the adjusted tuition amount is reflected in an updated contract.
