From Austin Waldorf School

Tomorrow won’t ask of our children what today asks of us. At Austin Waldorf School we help students develop capacities like collaboration, problem solving, empathy, and creativity, so that whatever tomorrow demands, they are ready.

We provide an education that honors the developmental stages of childhood from birth through high school. The curriculum features integrated and experiential learning options for students—subject areas are woven together and explored through an overarching theme or concept and students learn to think across disciplines.

Much of our academic and experiential curriculum takes place outdoors. Students enjoy regular nature walks, learning in school gardens, environmental studies with local habitat and conservation projects, backpacking and overnight trips in scenic areas across our state and the country.

Our goal is to nurture, inspire, and engage our students to help enlighten their journey towards a more humane, just, and sustainable future.

Austin Waldorf School Reviews

AWS has shaped my children into upright human beings who imbue truth, beauty, goodness, and integrity. In addition to rigorous academics, my children are truly shaped into renaissance humans. Art, movement and practical arts are beautifully woven into the daily curriculum to support the higher cognitive learning. AWS is one of the top Waldorf Schools in the country and our forever home!

What an amazing school! There is an intentiality in Waldorf curriculum that you will not find in other education models. It is a holistic approach with rigorous academics combined with art, music and movement. Specifically, at AWS the faculty is experienced and dedicated and the 30+ acre campus is gorgeous. All students get to experience theater, campouts, class trips, feild trips and many festivals throughout the year. Starting in 6th grade, there is a formal athletics program that any student is able to participate in. The parent community is golden and essential to the school. We've loved the kindergarten, elementary and middle school and we couldn't be happier to have our son starting his high school journey at the Austin Waldorf School.

My two children attend high school at Austin Waldorf School. AWS was my top choice for my children. As a family we are extremely involved with the high school program as the kids flourish academically and grow emotionally. Many of their teachers have a PhDs. The high school administration cares about them. The community itself is full of bright lights and every year draws more families who are very serious about raising good, smart, loved people. It's a small school and my scientist child might need some additional lab classes before he tries for a top tier college - we live in one of the most bountiful cities in the country for post-secondary educational options. My other child will likely stroll directly into a wonderful liberal arts environment with a strong math, composition, and art background - as well as an absurdly comprehensive knowledge of human history.
