About the Vancouver Waldorf School

At the Vancouver Waldorf School, we provide an education based on the understanding of individual human development that fosters imagination, responsibility and a sense of truth. In addition to imparting knowledge, our intention is to foster in children a sense of reverence and respect for life. The close relationship between student and teacher enhances learning and the ability to explore new interests and take on new challenges. Students are engaged in a learning experience both artistic and academically challenging.

Based on the insights of scientist and philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), Waldorf schools have developed into an international movement with nearly 1200 schools worldwide. By offering a learning method that strives to meet the physical, emotional, and intellectual dimensions of the developing child, the Vancouver Waldorf School integrates artistic activities and movement arts throughout the curriculum, providing a balanced and well-rounded education since 1968.
