Tuition
Waldorf education engages children’s imaginations and curiosity through active, hands-on learning. We seek to cultivate creative thinking, inquiry, and a love of learning by integrating a full curriculum in math, language arts, the sciences, and foreign languages with the visual arts, drama, music, and movement. Unique and experiential lessons ground Waldorf students in the interconnectedness of the world.
We practice a developmental approach and strive to give children the right content, in the right way, at the right time. The result is curious and confident citizens who can follow their passions and make a positive impact on the world.
RWS Graduates are accepted into a variety of competitive high schools in Richmond and beyond.

Richmond Waldorf School Reviews
Now in the grades, my child is an avid reader, making lifelong friends, and excited for school every day. The field trips are incredible experiences full of memories and skills to last a lifetime. Art and beauty are woven into every subject. Every child learns to ride a bike, participate in woodwork/handwork, play instruments, learn 2 languages, and recess is twice a day. Interacting face to face and growing relationships without screens is important to me. The community is diverse in many ways, which I love. I am grateful for this unique, old-world, future-forward education that’s developing my child as resilient, creative, and to think independently.
