Mission

Daily we strive to inspire learning, courage,

and joy in the developing human being.

We welcome, value, and support everyone at the Seattle Waldorf School.

Racism, prejudice and inequity exist throughout society and institutions, including the Seattle Waldorf School. We commit to understanding and challenging systems of oppression because we believe students with a deep sense of belonging can contribute positively to humanity and the earth.

Our commitment lives in action: reflecting on our biases, designing thoughtful curricula, developing inclusive teaching practices, and holding each other accountable.

Our Values

● We cultivate wonder and curiosity through engagement with the natural world.

● We actively engage the striving adolescent in order to promote the unfolding of the free and confident adult.
