Governance
The Waldorf School, a 501c not for profit organization, is celebrating just over 40 years of education in Saratoga Springs. We value the healthy development of the whole individual, in mind, body, and spirit. Through a focus on academics, music, art and movement, our bountiful curriculum—based on established and evolving Waldorf principles—inspires creative thought, discourse, human connections, and experiential learning. We send forth global citizens who have initiative, social responsibility, and enthusiasm for life.
At WSSS, we value collaborative leadership and the shared responsibility of running the school. The College of Teachers, or Collegium, oversees the policy, pedagogy, and practice of the school; the Board of Directors is a group of committed community members who see to the health of our financial, legal, and physical realms; while our dedicated parents foster the community spirit and facilitate many of the school's activities throughout the year.
“A healthy social life is found only when, in the mirror of each soul, the whole community finds its reflection; and when, in the whole community, the virtue of each one is living.”
