Parent Involvement:
Enrolling your child in a Waldorf School involves, to a degree, enrolling yourself too. Private education cannot exist by virtue of tuition alone; even public schools owe much to their pool of parent volunteers. So that you are not taken by surprise, our expectation of our parent community includes both volunteering and attending parent meetings.

Parent Meetings
As the curriculum benefits and uplifts your child’s awareness of the world around them, it overflows into home life. In an effort to compliment the curriculum with the home setting, we encourage you to participate in class meetings. These meetings are held to inform parents of the daily activities in the classroom, and to give you an opportunity to ask questions and to get to know one another.
