One hundred years of Waldorf Educational theory and classroom experience from around the world help us continue learning together.

We’ve seen the proof that BWS prepares children for whatever life presents. Students at the Brooklyn Waldorf School explore the terrain of the given world through active, inquiry-based thinking. Grade and specialty subject teachers work together to craft a comprehensive, hands-on curriculum to ensure your child will be well-prepared for every future.

“The claim for interdisciplinary learning is that parallel learning gives you advantages that series learning lacks. Those advantages may be: learning depth by fostering analogies; learning applicability by understanding context; learning flexibility by being aware of different modes of thought and ways of working; encouraging creative breakthroughs by using examples and models from different fields, etc.”
– Carl Gombrich, University College London
