School Notes

Learning to Change the World is our motto, but what does that mean? To us it has a double meaning.
It means we aim to give our students an education that imparts the tools and skills to solve any problem they encounter.
It also means that our philosophy is one that sets out to make the world a better place.
Lofty ambitions? Perhaps. But once you meet our students, you'll see why we have full confidence in them and our approach that helps to shape them into the thoughtful, conscientious, and unique people they are.

We have been educating childrenin New Orleans since 2000. We pride ourselves on upholding our core values, which serve as a compass for how we educate chidren and how we help them learn to move through the world.
Environment & Sustainability: Whether it's Forest Kindergarten Day or a field trip tothe French Quarter, our students learn to appreciate the natural world in their urban environment andto feel confident in navigatingtheir surroundings. We instill a social conscience byrecycling, composting, energy efficiency, and using natural cleaning products.
Diversity: We welcome, value, and actively seekracial, religious, economic, and cultural diversity, including single, dual, or multiple parent households and LGBT parents, faculty, and/or students. We are committed to having our school community further reflect the abundant diversity of New Orleans.
Media Mindfulness: Our school culture sees Screen Time as an impediment to creativity and child development. We encouragefamilies to allow their children the freedom to grow without the limitationsthat screens present.
Service: We strive to provide students with opportunities to see themselves as engaged citizens who can make a difference in the world.
Waldorf School of New Orleans is an Associate Member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America(AWSNA)and a Full Member of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North American(WECAN).

The teachers truly love our children and foster a sense of partnership with the parents, the administration is thoughtful and accessible, and the other families work together to form a wonderful community." We have been at the school 4 years and I want to tell the world about this wonderful jewel of a school in New Orleans.

I was very concerned about the schools when me and my daughter moved to New Orleans right before her 3rd grade year. She came from a great public school in the south-east but she has dyslexia and old and despite the schools and my best effort, she lost her passion and excitement for learning. It recommended me that Waldorf might be a different but helpful approach to learning for my daughter and I am SO HAPPY we found this school. My daughter loves going to school every day and her excitement for learning has returned. She is reading out loud to me now and has soared leaps and bounds in math and comprehension. This school is an absolute treasure in NOLA!

This is our first year at Waldorf, my son started third grade, and already I am absolutely loving it. We came from a catholic school, and from being at a Waldorf just a few weeks I already see my son's creativity and imagination growing. He's enjoying his childhood, having fun how we did back in the day - wanting to create and build things, not stuck in front of a tv. I'm so excited to see my son nurtured so he can grow and thrive!
