What people are saying
"My family has had the most wonderful experience and all three of my children are thriving. I have seen what a difference this more intimate, lower-stress environment has had on my children - they are more confident, curious, outgoing, and excited to learn new things."
Kate
, Parent (Preschool, Kindergarten & Grade 3)
"I'm so impressed with the close attention the teachers give my son. They clearly know him exceptionally well and care so much about who he is and how to help him succeed. The lack of screens has been amazing for him - it's a night and day difference from his previous school. He is happy and motivated and so much more confident. I think it will change his life."
Sylvie, Parent (Grade 10 - first year at WWS)
“More than ever, our kids need grounding, confidence, and purpose. Waldorf education brings students a rich sense of self and their place in the world. It gives them a solid foundation to succeed, regardless of their chosen path.”
Bronwen, Parent (Grade 5)
