A Waldorf journey from early childhood through eighth grade—with hands-on learning every step of the way

Waldorf Education in Action

A Developmental Approach to Learning

Berkshire Waldorf School offers a Waldorf curriculum from Early Childhood through the elementary and middle school grades. Based on Rudolf Steiner’s understanding of childhood development, the curriculum meets children at every stage of growth—building a foundation for learning that continues into high school and beyond.

When we bring to the child, first at the right moment, matter appropriate to his faculties, then it will become a source of refreshment throughout his whole life.
— Rudolf Steiner
