What is the Seattle Waldorf’s method of education?

Seattle Waldorf School takes a refreshingly hands-on, hearts-in, heads-up approach to learning. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s Waldorf philosophy, the school blends academics with art, movement, and practical skills to help kids grow into well-rounded humans, not just good test-takers. Instead of breezing through textbooks, students dive into main lesson blocks, spending a few weeks fully immersed in subjects like history, science, or math. They create their own beautifully illustrated lesson books that double as personal portfolios and low-key art exhibits. On any given day, you might find them knitting, sculpting, dancing through Eurythmy, or learning outside in the rain. The whole curriculum is alive with music, storytelling, and creativity. It’s school, but with soul.
