The Upper Valley Waldorf School is an independent, Pre-K -- 8 school based on the educational contributions of Rudolf Steiner and close to centers of higher learning. Growing steadily since our founding in 1991, we now enjoy a student population approaching 170 and offer a full Nursery through 8th grade program. Our mission is to cultivate a balance of intellectual achievement, spiritual growth, physical development and personal responsibility through a classical education that reflects an understanding of the growing child.
