What distinguishes The Waldorf School of Philadelphia from other schools?

The Waldorf School of Philadelphia is the only school of its kind in the city of Philadelphia. Waldorf Education focuses on the development of the whole child and Waldorf teachers strive to help each child realize their potential at each developmental stage. Our interdisciplinary approach to learning emphasizes connections – between the student and the world, between arts and academics, between physical and cognitive development, between history and current events – and offers a truly well rounded education that engages students’ minds, hearts and imaginations. As a distinctive model, it is this synthesizing approach that enables creative, confident, independent thinkers that are the hallmark characteristics of Waldorf graduates.
