The Waldorf School of Atlanta
Located in Decatur and part of an international movement of Waldorf schools, our mission is to develop our students’ will to become life-long learners by fostering their ability to think with clarity, feel with compassion, and act with purpose in the world. We provide students with a developmental curriculum that meets the whole child – head, heart and hands. From early childhood through middle school, Waldorf classes go far beyond the routine dispensing of academic information. Progressively, they also develop the nimble, humane, and discerning minds these young people will need in an unpredictable future. Our teachers steadily build each student’s individual capacity for sensitive engagement, original thinking, clear reasoning, and — most importantly — the initiative and ability to translate thoughts into action. Waldorf protects childhood by introducing skills and concepts at a cognitively appropriate pace and developmental level. Over many years, Waldorf schools have proved that such learning lasts!
