Research The Waldorf School of Philadelphia private Schools in Trenton, New Jersey

“As an educator myself, I can see that the teaching here is superb. There is no meaningless busywork. Homework is not piled on randomly, but has a purpose: to guide the student towards becoming a responsible, thoughtful, well-rounded and independent learner. My two children are receiving a terrific education! The Waldorf practice of having the same class teacher follow an entire class from first through eighth grade ensures that the teacher knows each child's strengths and weaknesses in depth. Parents and teachers develop a relationship of mutual responsibility and commitment towards each other over the years. Because difficulties with students are not just passed along to the next year's teacher, the faculty support each other in problem-solving any difficulties with learning or behavior that a child may have. There is a sense that all of the teachers here care for each and every child, and the kids feel secure and known.”

“This school provides a soulful education for our children. All three of our sons are having a very positive experience. The focus on music and the arts particularly appeals to us, as does the warmth of the community and the reverence for all of life that the school fosters.”

“One of the finset alternate education possibilites. The child is nurtured and taught to respect self and others through non-traditional curriculum which includes music, language, dance. Projects done in class are not throw away stuff but works of art.”

“Very nice alternative to mainstream schooling. Very nurturing environment, small classes, beautiful campus. Small, caring, active community. Offers hands-on learning at child's pace...resulting in very thoughtful, inquisitive children who love to learn, and love school. Our child has been in the school for over four years, and we are very happy with his progress. Children seem to be more happy/healthy/innocent there. They learn knitting, sculpture, German, Music, etc...and begin a string instrument in 4th grade.”
