Whistler Waldorf School is a fully accredited independent school with the BC Ministry of Education and is a developing school with the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America.
Waldorf School offers education from Preschool / Kindergarten to Grades one to eight.
A Waldorf education fosters socially-responsible, motivated self-starters who are resistant to peer pressure and respectful of others.
Researchers say each child learns differently; that teachers should use multiple methods to ensure each child understands. That's why a balanced, holistic approach is so important. That's also why, with 2500 schools and kindergartens around the globe, Waldorf education is one of the fastest growing independent school movements in the world.
