The Waldorf School of Philadelphia is a modern, urban, organic learning environment in the heart of Germantown, Philadelphia, serving children from pre-k through 8th grade.
Based on Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy of education, our mission is to create a vibrant learning community based on a deep understanding of the child, integrating the intellectual with the artistic and the practical with the beautiful.
We provide a decidedly independent form of education that creates decidedly independent thinkers. We believe that early childhood is a period of magical discover - learning through movement, play, friendship and love. We believe that a challenging, academic middle school experience can ignite an intrinsic passion for learning, create confidence, and inspire a love a learning that will endure and that your children will treasure forever.
