Our Faculty and Administration

Waldorf teachers are committed to understanding and engaging each student’s unique learning needs, with the goal of awakening and inspiring their capacity for self-initiated learning and long-term success. All of our Childcare teachers hold ECE qualifications, and class teachers have or are working towards certification in Waldorf education.  Our faculty regularly update and enhance their skills through professional development sessions, conferences, summer courses, and workshops. In addition to their Waldorf qualifications, our teachers bring a diverse range of formal and in-service educational credentials, including advanced degrees, and public and private school teaching experience. Many of our faculty members also excel in other fields, enriching our educational community.
