The breadth of curriculum I’d been exposed to gave me a sense of curiosity and willingness to take risks in my learning that many of my peers lacked. SS Stefan Schaefer Filmmaker • Class of ’89 In Waldorf Education, we were guided to solve problems creatively vs. memorizing facts. It is this curiosity, creativity, and confidence that allows Waldorf students to excel. DF Dan Feldman Director at Verizon • Class of ’89 I value so much about my Waldorf Education, it’s difficult to choose one thing! The enduring friendships, how art was woven through every subject, the care given by the teachers. ZF Zaria Forman Artist • Class of ’01 Ready to learn more?
