The Waldorf School of Garden City is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools and the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and is recognized by the New York State Education Department. Our outstanding and dedicated faculty have led the Waldorf School of Garden City to become a leader in the education field, offering a full education from Early Childhood through High School.

Today’s world demands future leaders that will be unconstrained by disciplinary boundaries in finding solutions. Our interdisciplinary Main Lesson classes prepare graduates for 21st century leadership. Education in its truest sense comes not from knowing the right answers but in learning how to ask insightful questions. Classroom discussions are vibrant and engaging. Our faculty are experts in their fields: innovative educators who are willing mentors and lifelong learners.

In addition to its rigorous and active learning-based curriculum, The Waldorf School of Garden City owns an extension campus in New Hampshire called Glen Brook. Originally for school children to spend summers away from the city, Glen Brook is a working farm that hosts Waldorf students every year between third grade and graduation, where they expand on what they are learning in the classroom, as well as reconnect with nature, and each other.

Mission

The Waldorf School of Garden City educates children to meet the world with purpose, gratitude, and respect.

Our curriculum, inspired by Rudolf Steiner, progresses in accordance with child development, awakening students to the experience of knowledge, strengthening their sense of moral responsibility, and empowering them to act with courage and conviction.

The School’s aim is to graduate a diverse group of young people distinguished by the scope and acuity of their minds as well as the depth and integrity of their character.
