Specialties: The Emerson Waldorf School provides an integrated Waldorf curriculum and environment which encourage and promote independent thinking and social responsibility as well as academic and artistic excellence.
The unique gifts and contributions of each child are honored through a developmentally appropriate awakening of thinking, feeling, and willing. Further, the Emerson Waldorf School understands children as beings of body, soul, and spirit, and guides them to develop compassion and reverence for themselves and the world community. Established in 1982. Emerson Waldorf School began in 1984, with 21 kindergarten children and 7 second and third graders in two classrooms rented from a local church. Rapid growth in 1985 and 1986 kept us scrambling for more space, and we soon bought a 15 acre site and began building our campus. We moved into our new classroom building in February 1987 and, in the fall of 1987, began school with 146 students in kindergarten through Grade 8. The same year we became a fully sponsored member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA).
In 2000, we decided to start our High School and began a Capital Campaign to raise funds for the High School building and for several improvements to our campus: our new Woodland Shop, our Handwork and Music buildings, and infrastructure improvements. Our first 9th grade class began in fall of 2002. Our first High School graduation was held in June of 2006, with a class of 15 students, many of whom were Waldorf "lifers", having started at EWS in kindergarten.
