Experience River Valley
At River Valley Waldorf School our children learn by doing- in a screen-free and nature-based environment. From pre-K through 8th grade, our Waldorf trained faculty nurtures the individual spirit of each child with compassion and respect. We educate the whole child through creativity, activity and purpose- preparing self-confident, independent thinkers who are culturally aware, socially responsible and globally conscious.
Academics
Waldorf education inspires a lifetime love of learning. Academic subjects are infused with the arts, allowing students to truly experience the curriculum, encouraging creative thinking and a depth of understanding of the subject. The Waldorf curriculum is based on a broad and comprehensive understanding of the developmental phases of childhood. Founded in 1919, Waldorf education is now a global movement for the education of the whole child- the head, the heart, and the hands.
What Our Community Says About Us
“My family has been engaged in the Waldorf curriculum offered at River Valley for seventeen years and I have seen first hand the impact that it has had on the development of my children. In this environment, students are learning to problem solve with critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. When their journey is complete at RVWS, they have a firm understanding of the world around them and a willingness and capability to go forth into it to pursue their passions.”
