Our Mission

To nurture an inclusive, connected, and engaged school community by welcoming every family, fostering clear communication, deepening our understanding of Waldorf education, and creating joyful opportunities for active participation.

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 and are invited to support our school community.

Contact us to get involved.


Parents Association Members

Every Parent & Caregiver Plays an Active Role

When your child joins the Waldorf School of Philadelphia, your whole family becomes an integral part of the Parents’ Association. Every parent and guardian is an active member, bringing unique gifts, ideas, and energy that enrich our vibrant school community. Whether you attend regular meetings, assist in the classroom, or help organize major festivals, your presence makes our school thrive.

Class Representatives (Class Reps)

Class Reps serve as vital liaisons between teachers, class families, and the broader school community. Appointed annually by each teacher, Class Reps help orient new families, organize class gatherings, support teacher needs, and encourage school-wide event involvement.

Conveners

Parent conveners work alongside the Leadership to guide PA initiatives and coordinate with Class Representatives to organize community and school events.
