Founded in 1971, the Waldorf School of Baltimore is a private, independent day school from nursery age through 8th grade. Our mission is to educate and inspire children to think, feel, and act with depth, imagination, and purpose. We believe every child is an enthusiastic and engaged learner and place an emphasis on the role of creativity and the imagination in learning. The Waldorf method offers a renaissance in education, favoring hands-on, experiential academics over rote memorization and technological reliance. Students are immersed in a rigorous academic environment that fosters intellectual curiosity, emotional resiliency, and a strong sense of selves in relation to the rest of the world. As a Maryland Green school, we foster a deep appreciation for the planet with outdoor parent and child classes, nature studies, forest aftercare, farm trips, school-wide composting, and terracycling. Our beautiful campus is a certified wildlife habitat that boasts a thriving beehive, pollinator gardens, and several chickens. WSB is conveniently located in scenic Northwest Baltimore and attracts families from diverse communities in and around the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan Area. We are a full member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA), fully licensed by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), and accredited by the Association of Independent Maryland Schools (AIMS).
