I have been a teacher at this school for over a decade. It's a treasure to be a part of the community; as a faculty member and as a parent. My child is in their fifth year at Micha-el. She looks forward to each and every day. There's eurythmy (movement), multiple languages, handwork, arts, music and more. The incorporation of nature-based learning and play is also fantastic. The class sizes are small and all of the teachers are Waldorf or Waldorf-inspired trained, teaching from the indications of Rudolf Steiner with respect for what meets children in today's evolving world.
Endorse Micha-el School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
