“The Waldorf way of exploring concepts rather than simply memorizing facts and formulas provides an excellent foundation for life-long learning. Understanding concepts has helped our son know how to think, not what to think. The learning modules integrated history with geography, with science, with mathematics, with music, and art – each reinforcing the lessons. The age-appropriate approach to education at the South Shore Waldorf School, coupled with the community of friends that support it, has made our association with the school a wonderful experience.”
Dana Phillip Doiron, former SSWS parent

“I am beyond grateful that the Waldorf school was part of my life. Thank you for taking a girl who was sure she would never understand math and turning her into a girl who was top of her class. Thank you for my love of theatre and for teaching me how to think”
Charlotte Britten, former SSWS student

“My time at the Waldorf School was one of the best experiences of my life. I learned how to access creativity and originality inside myself and most importantly how to respect each of my classmates.”
Max Cooper-Flint, former SSWS student

“The Waldorf school taught me to be an independent thinker. The small classes and open minded outlook built an inner self-confidence that helped make the transition to public school easy. Learning at a Waldorf school was fun and instilled an appreciation of hard work that has carried on to this day. I care about learning and understanding the world.
Cerridwen Heron, former SSWS student

“The Waldorf school has done so much to help me in my journey to understand consciousness as a whole and the true value of exploring knowledge and truth.”
Dillan Fraser, former SSWS student
