Rating 4.18 out of 5 55 reviews
It's more than a school, it's a community of individuals (parents, teachers, coach, the janitor, everybody) whose goal is to support your student with whatever they need to succeed in life. The dedication of the teachers along with the rigor of the Waldorf curriculum is unmatched and has unlocked my student in a way that makes him stand out in the crowd. The school encourages students to be the best version of themselves as well as global stewards. As a WSGC parent I have no hesitation recommending the school, I only wish I had discovered it sooner.
These past years have been truly the best years of my life, and although in years past the dress code and other issues were a big issue, the school has almost completely relaxed the dress code and most rules that were deemed excessive have been almost completely removed. The technology of today has been integrated into the school, and they even have an IT support line as well as updated laptops for both middle and high school. The school has even allowed dyed hair, which seeme unthinkable up to last year. I look forward to my last two years here and I believe I have been fully prepared for what is to come by my teachers and experiences here and at Glen brook.
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.
