From our friends at Cedarwood Waldorf School:
Cedarwood Waldorf School brings Waldorf education to life and strives to instill a love for learning. Our curriculum weaves together the arts, academics, and movement, with a reverence for the developing child. We nurture our children’s spirituality, cultivate their ability to think imaginatively and inspire them to seek the truth.
CWS is an independent school that welcomes families of all backgrounds, serving students 3 years of age through 8th grade.

Early Childhood (ages 3-6)
- Play-based instruction that encourages imagination and problem-solving with a focus on social and emotional learning
- A warm nurturing environment of soft fabrics, gentle lighting, and natural materials where children participate in the community as friends.

Elementary School (grades 1-5)
- Students thrive in experiential lessons in core academics as well as Japanese, Spanish, movement, Practical Arts, eurythmy, and music.
