Our Theme

This year’s gala theme, “Passion and Purpose,” reflects the commitment of our community as we celebrate 19 years as a school. Our parents are passionate about the education our children receive at the only independent Waldorf school in the state; our teachers are passionate about inspiring the best in our students and in helping each child realize his or her full potential; and our students are passionate about learning and ultimately developing the skills needed to contribute to the world around us. Rigorous academics, arts, music, foreign languages, and movement classes all serve an important and irreplaceable purpose in a Waldorf education. It’s a curriculum that has withstood the test of time, educational fads, and governmental policies. Waldorf is one of the world’s fastest growing education movements for good reason.
