School is challenging for every family, but it can be more complicated for LGBTQ+ families, who often face unique stressors when navigating the educational system. These families can be faced with editing forms with outdated designations like “father” and “mother,” worrying about bathroom access for transgender children, stapling support documents to standard forms to explain their parental legal status, or outlining pronoun preferences for their student or guardians. The Waldorf School of Philadelphia is taking active steps to make each aspect of our school experience receptive and sensitive to the needs of LGBTQ+ families.
