From Richmond Waldorf School

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.

Creating to Learn

In Waldorf education, we understand that students learn best when they are actively engaged in body, mind, and spirit. All students create their own Main Lesson Books, which is their personal portfolio of all academic lessons. All students learn 2 world languages, participate in choral and instrumental music, handwork and woodworking, in addition to the visual and performing arts.
