SCHOOL Visits
Getting to Know Berkshire Waldorf School
We’ve created this special collection of school visits to welcome new families and partner with current families whose children are “moving up” to the next stage of their education. This introductory series combines both live and recorded events. To register for any of these events, click on your child’s program button on the “How to Apply” page, and create an account in our parent portal, Ravenna (if you haven’t already). You’ll be able to access registration for any and all of these events there. See you soon!
Step A: Visit or Virtual Visit
We offer in-person welcome tours most Wednesday mornings starting at 8:30 a.m., in conjunction with our weekly Community Cafe. Join Admissions Director Robyn Coe for this look into the daily life of our vibrant education for Toddlers through Teens. Learn more about the curriculum and programs at BWS, and the application process for prospective families. All are welcome; adults only. No need to complete a school application to attend (although please go ahead if you’re ready!), but this visit is a required step in the application process. To register, call 413-528-4015 x. 106 or email admissions@berkshirewaldorfschool.org.
Update: Virtual Visit recordings are also available. Please email Admissions Director Robyn Coe at admissions@berkshirewaldorfschool.org to receive a recording.
Step B: Becoming a Berkshire Waldorf Family
A Berkshire Waldorf education is collaborative, active, delightful and effective. BWS teachers make a bold commitment: to partner with you to nurture your child’s healthy learning and growing for a lifetime.
Join this live, virtual workshop to meet BWS teachers, administrators and alumni. During the evening, you’ll discover what it can mean for your family to join BWS, a learning community based on warmth, connection and mutual support.
All current and prospective parents and caregivers are welcome.
Update: Although this event has passed, email admissions@berkshirewaldorfschool.org to receive a recording. Adults only, please. For applicants, we ask that you complete this prerequisite in addition to your child’s teacher interview.
