What does “intentional education” mean at Seattle Waldorf School?

It means nothing is just thrown together or copied from a standard curriculum binder. At Seattle Waldorf, everything is planned with purpose, from the stories told in first grade to the way middle schoolers tackle big questions. The school pays close attention to how kids actually grow, not just what someone decided they should know at a certain age. Lessons aren’t rushed, and childhood isn’t skipped. Instead, learning moves in a thoughtful rhythm that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and confidence. It’s about meeting kids where they are and helping them grow into exactly who they’re meant to be.
