The Waldorf School of Louisville

Our school’s mission is to nurture the unique gifts of each child by providing an environment 
and integrated curriculum that fosters academic and artistic excellence!

Waldorf schools offer a developmentally appropriate, experiential, and academically rigorous approach to education. They integrate the arts in all academic disciplines for children to enhance and enrich learning. Waldorf Education aims to inspire life-long learning in all students and to enable them to fully develop their unique capacities.

The Waldorf School of Louisville offer programs for all children from birth through 8th grade:

Early Childhood : Our mixed age, play-based Early Childhood experience focuses on building capacities for future academic success. The warm, homelike classroom environment and plenty of time outside in nature, combine to support young children's developing social skills and unfolding curiosity about the world. 

Grades 1-5:  The academic journey through the lower grades meets a child's growing intellectual capacities. Grades students are challenged to think flexibly, see the world through different lenses, and engage all their senses in the learning process. The Visual and Performing Arts, Movement, and real world applications of classroom concepts are integrated into the grade student's daily experience. 

Grades 6-8: Middle School students are ready for rigorous academics that challenge them to discover truths in the world around them, through experimentation, critical thinking, and exposure to world changing discoveries. The Waldorf Middle School student is guided by expert educators to apply scientific methodologies, mathematical theorems, and socially dynamic curriculum, through a blend of field trips, classroom work, and robust artistic immersion.  

Waldorf Education seeks to help children unlock their full potential, and develop into well rounded, 
socially conscience humans with the courage to go forward into the world with purpose and initiative.
