The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs values the healthy development of the whole individual in mind, body, and spirit.

Programs at Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs

“The heart of the Waldorf method is the conviction that education is an art – it must speak to the child’s experience. To educate the whole child, their heart and will must be reached as well as their mind.”
— Rudolf Steiner

Our beloved Waldorf School begins the 2023-2024 school year in a different, yet exciting new way! This year a focus on Early Childhood through 8th Grade allows us to expand our core education curriculum, and apply additional resources to art, music and movement programs. These important programs enrich school life by providing new learning opportunities for our students, both academically and socially.

As we strive to meet the needs of the present, it is equally imperative that we take action to ensure our school’s long-term sustainability and success. Community support, in combination with the work of our talented educators and administrative team, creates and nurtures the vitality and inspirational spaces that are central to our school’s history and vision.
