Toronto Waldorf School

Teaching Philosophy

Each Waldorf school shares a unique approach. It is our experience that the majority of our graduates are accepted into a university or other post-secondary program of their choice. Learn about our successful curricula below! Early Childhood Infant – 6 Children immediately experience a learning environment of beauty and wonder, full of warm, flowing colours and natural objects that invite imagination and interaction through play.

Learn More High School Ages 14 – 18 High School at Toronto Waldorf School is a wonderful blend of sciences, mathematics, arts and humanities, with a healthy dose of social life and physical activity.

More Than Academics Examples from our past Grade 12 students include: a time lapse video of our school’s forum using more than 3,100 photos, and designing and creating benches using donated ash wood. One bench was given to the Oak Ridges Community Centre in Richmond Hill, others are placed around our school.

Above all, the way the lessons integrate traditional subject matter is, to my knowledge, unparalleled.
