This school is amazing. We just joined for the 24-25 school year, and the new leadership is wonderful. There are so many activities during the year; the kids have a great Waldorf foundation where they have many creative and artistic pursuits as well as outdoor and environmental projects. The teachers are very caring and work well with children who need extra help and guidance.
