Specialties: One of over 1,200 Waldorf schools worldwide, WSL was founded in 1971 and serves 180 students from preschool through grade 8. Our program features highly trained, experienced faculty and an academic curriculum that is carefully mapped to children’s cognitive, emotional, and physical developmental stages.
The cornerstone of WSL’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, and all students act in a class play and learn traditional handwork skills. Students take up a stringed instrument in third grade, with older students playing in a school ensemble or orchestra. 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 WSL’s gardening program, farm and field trips, and seasonal festivals.
At WSL, we prepare students for a lifetime of engaged, self-directed learning. Our graduates thrive at a wide variety of secondary and post-secondary schools. Established in 1971. A group of pioneering parents founded the Waldorf School in 1971, expanding through the years as demand grew, until finally settling in East Lexington in the town's historic Adams Building. The school's pedagogy is based on the work of Waldorf education's founder, Rudolf Steiner, and the school is accredited by both the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America.
