For parents who want a balanced approach to educating their child in mind, body, and spirit, the Waldorf School of Lexington provides a challenging, arts-integrated curriculum in a healthy, joyful, and media-free environment. One of over 1,200 Waldorf schools worldwide, our school was founded in 1971 and serves 200 children from 8 weeks through grade 8. Our program features highly trained faculty and an academic curriculum that is carefully mapped to children’s cognitive, emotional, and physical developmental stages.

The cornerstone of Waldorf School of Lexington’s early childhood program is creative free play, which research indicates is crucial for healthy development. We very deliberately do not accelerate academic learning in preschool or kindergarten. Caring teachers create a warm, nurturing environment, where an unhurried childhood can unfold.

Beginning in first grade, students study math, science, the humanities, and two world languages. Music and the visual arts enrich each school day across the grades. Athletics and movement are an important part of every student’s day. Elementary and middle school students have two recess periods daily, and younger students spend time outdoors, exploring the natural world in nearby conservation land. Students also participate in our gardening program, farm and field trips, and seasonal festivals.

At the Waldorf School of Lexington, we prepare students for a lifetime of engaged learning. Our graduates thrive at a wide variety of secondary and post-secondary schools. Above all, WSL is a school where each child is seen, known, and loved.
