Introducing Our New Family Referral Program

We know word-of-mouth is our most powerful source for matching right-fit families with our school community.  That’s why we’ve launched our Family Referral Program. And who better to spread the word and share stories of Why Waldorf? than our very own families.

How it Works

Suppose you know a family (or child/ren) who you feel would be well-served by our school, our learning environment and this community. Help them choose us by sharing your own reasons for selecting our school, and help connect us so that we can become partners on their learning journey.

Make an Introduction to Our Admissions Team

  1. Simply send an email to our Admissions Manager
  2. Include your contact, e.g., family, friend, neighbour on the e-mail, and
  3. The Grade(s)/programs they’re interested in, e.g., Grades 3 and 4
  4.  Remind them to put your name on the referral section of the application in order to qualify

We’ll follow up directly to schedule a personal meet-and-greet, or even set up a guided tour of the school.

If your referral includes your name on the Application Form in the Referral field and we make an offer of acceptance, and they enrol in any of our Kindergarten and/or Grades 1-8 programs, we’ll thank you by offering a chance to redeem a $1,000 tuition credit.

 

Start Now, Make an Introduction!
You may have passed our information on to family or friends in the past, THANK YOU!  We encourage you to take this one step further – please make an introduction by emailing:
