What is smart?

Is it acing a standardized test? Or something deeper?

Waldorf education understands that developing human potential requires far more than just academics. We help children cultivate their natural curiosity to grow intellectually, physically, and emotionally. Waldorf is one of today’s fastest-growing educational movements. We’d love to show you why.

Unique Perspectives on Waldorf Education

Testimonial

“We were looking for a school that would emphasize creativity in all areas of study. When we visited City of Lakes Waldorf School, the teaching incorporated the arts with history, music, science and math. The heavy dependence on technology and testing markers that we experienced in the public schools was not present.”

Sandy

CLWS Parent

“If you’ve had the experience of binding a book, knitting a sock, playing a recorder, then you feel that you can build a rocket ship-or learn a software program you’ve never touched. It’s not bravado, just a quiet confidence. There is nothing you can’t do. Why couldn’t you? Why couldn’t anybody?”

Peter Nitze

Waldorf and Harvard graduate, and Director of Martek Biosciences
