Parent: We have had our two kids in MN Waldorf for 5 years now. I can't stress enough how important and valuable MN Waldorf has been for their development, especially in these past two challenging years. It is an extremely nurturing environment, partly a product of the small class sizes, but also because of how Waldorf education focuses on empowering each individual child and building confidence.

Parent: Schools have changed in the last few years. NLA is refreshingly traditional. For parents who just want their kids to have a normal school experience, NLA is right for you. They controlled covid without ridiculous rules in place. No teachers or nurses hounding kids with a headache, etc. Masks were mostly optional this year. The curriculum is very traditional with no brainwashing of political ideology. You simply get to send your kiddo to school, they teach them about academics and then you get to instill your family values. They also emphasize kids being kind and thinking critically. The building is new and beautiful and probably helps with a new ventilation system. The class sizes are small. You can tell the teachers love their jobs. The administration is amazing. We are so happy with our decision to send our kids to NLA. We recommend to everyone we know in our community with young kids. Although I hope they don’t grow too much! Small and intimate is what we love!... Read 2 reviews
