We want our daughter to grow up to be a woman of strong mind, body and soul. Waldorf education teaches excellence in academics, richness in the arts and music, respect of our natural world and reverence for our fellow mankind. Waldorf teachers make learning come alive both mentally and physically. Social skills take hold so that our children flourish. This profound Waldorf education will serve our daughter for a lifetime--our gift to our child.
- Frank and Jessica Meyer, SWS Parents
When I first walked through the entrance to the Waldorf School, I felt at home. I knew my daughters would be cared for. And I was right. They have learned, grown and matured into the young women they are today. Their maturation and growth (spiritually, emotionally and intellectually) is partly the result of a curriculum focused on the child’s developmental readiness. Couple the curriculum with small classes and a loving family spirit via their teachers, they learn how to cooperate as they make decisions, yet are able to compete when needed. Waldorf education has enabled my children to embrace the wholeness of who they are. Dare I ask for more—maybe a high school?
- The Carlisle’s, SWS parents
After living away for thirteen years, we decided to move back to our hometown. Susquehanna Waldorf School provided us with comfort, support, and a sense of family during a very difficult time in our life. SWS is the very best decision we could have made for our family- our children are finally happy to go to school every day!
