Spring Garden Waldorf School is a private, non-sectarian, coed school that provides education for a diverse group of children from age three through the eighth grade. Waldorf schools are autonomous and independently run, yet linked by their educational philosophy. Waldorf Education provides a comprehensive, academic, artistic, cultural and practical education that encourages students to develop into creative, balanced, responsible individuals able to think for themselves. The curriculum stimulates the mind with a full spectrum of traditional academic subjects. It nurtures healthy emotional development through conveying information by experiencing it directly. A broad range of artistic and handicraft activities provide children with hands on skills that can be used throughout their life.
