Educating head, heart and hands with a reverence for nature. The Minnesota Waldorf School (MWS) is an independent pre-K through 8th grade school, located in St. Paul. We value the critical link between inspiration and education. Music, movement, foreign language, handwork, and art are thoughtfully integrated with a strong core of humanities and sciences. Our classrooms and teachers offer a warm, nurturing environment that allows children's capacities to unfold and grow, naturally. Our students rise to the challenges of learning with a sense of discovery and curiosity. Whenever possible, teachers remain with the same class from 1st through 8th grade, allowing for growth and a deepening of the class community. Our school is fully accredited by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America, as well as AdvancED. MWS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, ability, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, nationality or ethnic origin.
