The Seattle Waldorf School offers Waldorf education to students in parent & tot classes through grade 12. It was founded in 1980, with 17 kindergarten children and a trained Waldorf teacher in central Seattle. Through continued educational research, community involvement, sustained growth, and a merger with the local Waldorf high school in the summer of 2007, our school has grown to become the first early childhood through grade 12 Waldorf school in the state of Washington.
Our main campus, in a wooded area of Northeast Seattle's Wedgwood neighborhood, houses our early childhood program (parent & tot, preschool and kindergarten), elementary and middle school grades one through eight, and our administrative offices. Two additional kindergarten classes are held at our Wallingford Kinderhaus campus. Our high school, in close proximity to Seattle Center, is located in the traditional school building of the Sacred Heart Church at 160 John Street. Maps & directions.
Waldorf education nurtures the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual capacities of the developing student. Using and building upon the 85-year-old Waldorf educational method, our experienced faculty provides a complete academic program — science, history, mathematics, language arts and world languages. Integrated into the curriculum are gardening, drawing, painting, sculpture, handwork, movement, music and drama.
We are committed to building our educational and community traditions and programs so that they meet the changing needs of our students and their families.
Parent participation and support in all aspects of school life is highly encouraged and vital, and takes place through continuing education lectures and workshops, regular parent meetings, and community events.
Open houses and tours are offered throughout the school year to give enquiring and current parents a window into Waldorf education and the Seattle Waldorf School. We encourage you to come visit our campuses to learn more about our school and educational programs.
