Employment

The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs is dedicated to providing students with a rich curriculum with a holistic approach. Classes are presented imaginatively and experientially.


The school was founded in 1981 and currently serves approximately 130 children from preschool through grade eight. We have an Absolute Charter from the New York State Education Department, are accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS), and are full members of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA). Our eclectic downtown campus is spread over two historic buildings, both of which are within walking distance of each other in the small city of Saratoga Springs, NY, while our Forest campus is located on over 300 forested acres of state park land, 2 miles outside of town. 

Our Early Childhood program houses parent-child, preschool, and mixed-aged kindergarten classes. The York Avenue campus serves grades one through eight and offers a richness of experience through main lesson content and special subjects (woodwork, handwork, music, movement, eurythmy, and spacial dynamics).

Our two campuses are located in beautiful Saratoga Springs, New York, a walkable and bike-friendly Victorian resort town nestled in the foothills of the Adirondacks with a population of approximately 30,000. We are three hours from Boston, New York City, and Montreal. Our location offers four delightful seasons and proximity to both wilderness and major cities while providing a comfortable small-town feel. Saratoga Springs offers many world class cultural events, and is host to the New York City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra during the summer. We have a thriving music and theater scene, with a plethora of restaurants, shops, outdoor activities and community events.
