The Waldorf School of Philadelphia offers an academically rich, time-tested curriculum where our students are free to learn without the pressure and stress of standardized testing. Subjects are taught in concert with one another - math, literacy, science, history are integrated with music, art, and movement - nurturing the physical, emotional, and intellectual capacities of the growing child through a developmentally appropriate curriculum.
Our Waldorf early childhood programs consist of parent & child classes, a nursery for children ages two-three, and our mixed-aged early childhood classes for children ages three-five. Each class is tailored to meet the nuanced development of the growing child. We provide families the opportunity of extended care and all of our early childhood programs have been certified.

Lower School
First grade is truly a new beginning. The Waldorf first grader is learning how to learn. Learning from and with one another, and learning from the world around them. Waldorf teachers strive to nurture a deeper reverence for the environment, respect for others and interest in the world. Social interaction with their peers and teacher sets the groundwork for wholeness and unity within their class.
