Why Waldorf

Toronto Waldorf School is part of an educational community of 2500 schools and kindergartens that circle the globe. One of the largest and fastest growing educational approaches in the world, Waldorf schools have supported students in over 70 countries for the past 90 years. Here are some statistics on North American Waldorf graduates. A more detailed report can be found in this link. Many Waldorf graduates have a sucessful career - lawyers, artists, scientists, musicians, and so on. You can watch our alumni/ae video profiles here and how Waldorf education helps them in their career. Also have a look at this short list of well-known Waldorf almuni in the US.

While each Waldorf school is independent, all share an approach that is fundamentally unique.

Founded in 1968, Toronto Waldorf School has developed a fully accredited curriculum from Parent-Infant through Grade 12. This education from a deeper perspective™ is an education for life:

• We teach children how to think creatively to solve problems
• We help children develop a personal connection to the world, community, nature and self
• We help children become centred, having confidence to pursue life with purpose

Toronto Waldorf School's deeper perspective is built upon these foundations:

• Academic Integration
• The Right Thing at the Right Time
• How to Think, Not What to Think
• Appreciation of Individuality
• Environmental Stewardship
• Experiential Learning
• Commitment to Culture & Community
