Among the many things that set Waldorf apart is the power of community. Whether it’s a pancake breakfast welcoming children and families to a new school year, or people coming together to beautify the school for our children at a summer work bee—or a festival organized by students, faculty and staff… each component is a small yet important building block of community. Children feel comforted and supported when their parents participate in school life — and likewise, parents feel supported by the network of families around them.
