Located on three campuses, all within easy reach of urban forests and waterways, we support students on a joyful journey that cultivates imagination, healthy social and emotional development, reverence for the natural world, and a deep love of learning. At Seattle Waldorf School we invite students to view each subject through multiple lenses: language, history, artistic expression, and scientific observation, and then apply the kind of creative thinking and problem-solving that make Waldorf graduates shine at college and university.

We prepare students for life by fostering adaptability, ingenuity, and creativity. Grounded in the classics, our academic courses expose students to the great ideas of humankind, the events that shaped civilizations, the beauty of mathematics, the power of the arts, and the phenomena of the scientific world. With small class sizes, supportive peers, and teachers who know and respect each individual, students can feel comfortable to take risks, find their voice, and follow their passions.
