Who We Are
At Seattle Waldorf School, students become creative problem-solvers — imaginative thinkers who journey toward intellectual excellence, human compassion, and artistic skill. As an independent school, Seattle Waldorf School offers a most holistic Waldorf education. Our modern curriculum is rooted in tradition — for children 18 months to 18 years. We lead students on a joyful journey that fosters critical thinking, synthesis, and creativity. We are privileged to employ some of the most highly trained Waldorf teachers in the country. Founded in Seattle in 1980, we are the only preschool through grade 12 Waldorf School in Washington.
“I longed for a school system based on creativity, freedom, and the opportunity to connect as individuals. I found just such a school at SWS…. At the high school, it feels like family, and I can’t wait to walk into these doors every day and see all of the students and colleagues that I carry in my heart.”
