Waldorf Academy is unique among your educational choices in Toronto. Our classes involve active learning with singing, movement and reciting poems woven into the daily rhythm of each class. This enriches learning and personal growth as these activities engage students on multiple levels—emotionally, intellectually, and physically—while fostering a sense of community and harmony. 

As with all Waldorf schools, Waldorf Academy minimizes the use of technology to allow children to engage more deeply with their learning experiences and the world around them. In a low-technology environment, students develop critical thinking, creativity, and interpersonal skills through hands-on activities, artistic expression, and real-world problem-solving. We give our students the time and space to develop a strong sense of self, helping them build meaningful connections with their peers and teachers. By prioritizing human interaction and experiential learning to the world around us, Waldorf Academy nurtures our students' innate curiosity and helps them develop a strong foundation to take ownership of their learning. 

Waldorf education, established by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century, is built on a deep understanding of how children grow and develop. It lovingly supports students from 18 months to Grade 8 graduation, is part of the fastest-growing independent school movement worldwide, with over 2,000 schools across more than seventy countries.
