From Wonder to Wisdom

At the Emerson Waldorf School, the unique gifts and contributions of each child are honored through a developmentally appropriate curriculum that educates a student’s body, mind, and spirit. Children are guided to develop compassion and reverence for themselves and the world community.

High School

Inspiring Innovation

Emerson Waldorf High School provides a balanced, challenging curriculum grounded in the classics and engaged in the modern world. Our students become active learners and creative, flexible thinkers with the confidence to face the complex challenges of our interconnected world.

Grade School

Developing Potential

Grade School children are inspired deeply by their feelings and by the beauty of the world around them. Participating in music, art, movement, and drama allows a student to explore academic concepts through their imagination and body, thereby developing a deeper connection to the material.

“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
