In these speeches from the Class of 2025’s graduation, BWS parents Holly Henderson-Fisher and Josh Fisher share the story of their fifteen years at Berkshire Waldorf School: how they got here, where they went (in a boat!) and what they learned along the journey from Early Childhood through Eighth Grade.

Berkshire Waldorf School is one of over 1,000 Waldorf schools, part of the fastest-growing independent school movement worldwide. Waldorf education was founded in 1919 by scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner. Based on Steiner’s insights into the nature of human beings and child development, our Waldorf curriculum fosters each student’s natural curiosity with stories and activities that appeal to the imagination as well as the intellect. Teachers take care to balance intellectual, emotional and social growth, while developing each child's resilience and capable will. BWS teachers root lessons in experience rather than abstract concepts; a botany lesson, for example, begins with a close look at a living plant.
