Admissions Requirements:
Because of our small school size, only a limited number of openings are available in any given year. To assess an applicant, the committee considers achievement and motivation, appraises the standards of the previous school’s curriculum, and for older children, considers the time and effort that the student has dedicated to class and out-of-class activities. In our Early Childhood applicants we are seeking families who value our early childhood philosophy and want a school that will provide a healthy, balanced, and nurturing childhood experience. An online application, official school records (if applicable) a personal interview, and class visit are required. For details visit https://www.waldorfgarden.org/admissions/apply-now/.
Mission Statement:
The Waldorf School of Garden City educates children to meet the world with purpose, gratitude and respect.
Our curriculum, inspired by Rudolf Steiner, progresses in accordance with child development, awakening students to the experience of knowledge, strengthening their sense of moral responsibility, and empowering them to act with courage and conviction.
The School’s aim is to graduate a diverse group of young people distinguished by the scope and acuity of their minds as well as the depth and integrity of their character.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
The Waldorf School of Garden City strives to be an environment where diversity is celebrated and all members of our community are included. We welcome the contributions of all cultures. We provide opportunities for open dialogue and discussion with faculty, staff, parents, students, and alumni. We aim to find common ground.
Through active learning, we seek to explore the many perceptions and experiences of various ethnicities, races, faiths, religions, socio-economic groups, genders, and the LGBTQ+ community. We challenge ourselves to uncover our biases so that we may meet all members of our community with equanimity and compassion. We are a school that teaches our students to value the differences in individuals, and we recognize that there is strength and wisdom in our diversity. We believe a diverse community is essential to an excellent education, and, to that end, we recognize the varied perceptions held by our students help to define the very fabric of our community.
