Maine Coast Waldorf School Reviews

36 reviews
All Categories
Maine Coast Waldorf school is a remarkable institution. I attended for almost my entire K-12 experience excluding a short hiatus for ninth grade at Waynflete. What truly sets Maine Coast apart from its private school counterparts in the region is the quality of its community. Parents, teachers and administrators truly care about the students. And in turn, students care about each other and the school. This community is the foundation upon which Maine Coast pursues its three-pronged pedagogical goals of educating the mind, body, and the spirit. No doubt an unusual approach, but if personal experience is allowed to attest, an effective one. In a world fast becoming more specialized and isolating, Maine Coast is a breath of fresh air to the point of being exhilarating.

Very good academics with lots of thought behind the structure of most courses. Engaged and for the most part enthusiastic teachers. Very very small and hard to deal with sometimes, but a nice family-like community. I feel as though faculty often don’t listen to the students to work together when concerns/issues arise.
Maine Coast Waldorf School is a great school to learn and socialize in, but they need help listening to the students needs and listening to the students concerns about the teachers and about the school.
