Waldorf School of Lexington provides a developmentally paced, arts-integrated academic education.
Adjacent to the 185-acre Great Meadows conservation land, the Waldorf School of Lexington, founded in 1972, serves students from preschool through grade 8. The school offers a challenging academic program, provided by faculty educated in the understanding of students� cognitive, emotional, and physical developmental stages.
A member of a global network of Waldorf schools, WSL provides a rich, rounded curriculum with a balance of academics,arts, music, and physical education. Beginning in first grade, the program integrates humanities and sciences with creative arts as well as two foreign languages. From grades 3�8, all students study a string or woodwind instrument and play together in a school ensemble or orchestra. The dramatic arts animate the curriculum with all elementary students participating in a class play yearly.
WSL expands its classrooms into the natural surroundings with an organic gardening program, farm and field trips, nature observation and walks on conservation land, and through its seasonal, community festivals. Athletics and movement are an important part of every student's day through eighth grade.
Sustained by a vibrant community of educators and supported by engaged parents, the school�s educational philosophy and culture instills in students respect for themselves, for each other, and for the living world around them. Our graduates enroll in a wide variety of independent and public high schools, colleges, and universities. WSL prepares students for a lifetime of engaged, self-directed learning.
