Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility — these three forces are the very nerve of education. - Rudolf Steiner

We embarked on this journey in 2021 of purchasing and remodeling our very own Running River School Building. We are in the final phases of construction and will be moving in 2025.

What Does it Mean to be Inspired by Waldorf Education?

We believe education should foster the ability to think with clarity, feel with compassion, and initiate change with confidence. Inspired by Waldorf Education, we strive to awaken and develop each child's individual capacities and support their innate desire to continually discover the world, themselves, and their place within it.
