An Active, Inclusive Community

The Waldorf School of Philadelphia is special. Diverse and vibrant, forward-thinking and innovative, we’re a magnet for creative, community-minded people.

Community participation is a central tenet of the Waldorf School of Philadelphia. One of the key goals of Waldorf education is to help develop imaginative, thoughtful, socially conscious, and engaged global citizens. We can only hope to raise committed leaders for our future when we work together and model collaboration and care for each other. With that in mind, our community is active in our classrooms, festivals, school events, field trips, and more. We ask all families to make a time commitment to help build community within our school.

Upon enrolling their child, parents, caregivers, and guardians are invited to Parents Association activities, which support our whole school community.

The Parents Association aims to:

• Welcome and embrace new families and create an inclusive environment for all families during their entire school journey.

• Provide a place for parents' voices to be heard. 

• Act as a communication network and serve as a liaison between school families and school administration, about issues related to student and community experience at the Waldorf School of Philadelphia.

• Support volunteer involvement in all aspects of our school’s work.

• Educate, support, and challenge ourselves as caregivers by learning about Waldorf education.
