Waldorf School of Lexington
About
The Waldorf School of Lexington serves children from infancy through grade 8, built on the Waldorf approach of balancing core academics with the arts, movement and time outdoors. Its curriculum is mapped to children’s physical, emotional and cognitive development and delivered through meaningful human connections. Values of civility and kindness run through daily school life, in the hope of building a more tolerant, open-minded world, and the school aims to nurture ethical, active and impactful world citizens.
Founded in 1971, the school sits on a historic campus next to the 185-acre Great Meadows conservation land. Early childhood programs, including nursery, kindergarten and a forest program, focus on self-directed, imaginative play within a comforting routine. From first grade, students study humanities, math and science, two world languages, choral and instrumental music, visual and performing arts, and athletics, with the range of subjects expanding significantly in sixth grade.
