I attended The Waldorf School of Garden City from K-12 and I can confidently say that those 14 years set a great foundation for my future. The curriculum’s emphasis on experiential learning provided me with a holistic education. For example - in addition to studying the History of Africa in a seminar style main lesson, we practiced an ethnic African dance. This immersed me more deeply and gave me an appreciation of the African culture. Active learning allowed me to internalize my education and I know these experiences will stick with me for the rest of my life.
Waldorf prepared me well for college-level work. The smaller intimate community provides an invaluable network of parents, faculty and alumni willing to offer advice and support during college years and beyond. Waldorf molds students into well-rounded problem solvers and independent thinkers. I was taught to have opinions, ask questions and strive to make a difference, with purpose, gratitude, and respect.

Fortunate to attend the Waldorf School of Garden City from K-12, I served on Student Government and participated in year-round Athletics. The curriculum, caring faculty, and individualized approach to learning helped me to evolve into the woman I am today. Upon graduation, I was well-equipped to handle college-level courses. The love of learning I fostered at Waldorf helped develop an inquisitive spirit that continues to light my path wherever I go. I enjoy returning to Waldorf for community events – such as Alumni Sports Days and the Fall Festival – and reconnecting with my peers.
The Waldorf School of Garden City offers a truly unique education that focuses on the deepest and most important aspects of the human experience. Children are immersed in nature, art, philosophy and natural sciences at a young age in a very subtle and wholesome way. It consistently produces articulate, intelligent, well-rounded and holistic adults. One of the highlights is the opportunity to go to Camp Glen Brook, a working farm that is owned by the school. Many of my favorite memories come from Glen Brook, and I learned a great deal about myself there. Waldorf is an experience for the entire human being, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
