We strive to cultivate in our students:

A sense of wonder,
Creative & inquiring minds,
A well-founded belief in their capacities,
Strength of character, will, & intellect,
Compassion for & interest in all life.

 Comprehensive: Music, fine art, practical arts & crafts, movement, foreign languages & cultures, and gardening interweave with math, science, language arts, and social studies, offering a meaningful alternative to test-based, stress- filled academic programs. 

Imaginative:  Our approach strives to unlock the power of each child's imagination, creating students who are passionate learners for life.

Developmental:  From parent-child classes for caregivers and their babies or very young children, right up through 8th graders, our programs seek to deeply meet the needs of children as they grow and change.  Our work is based on educational pioneer Rudolf Steiner's insights into human development--physical, emotional, social and cognitive.

Holistic: When we speak about the "whole child," we mean the complete human being: mind, body, emotions, and soul. Our education supports the intellectual, physical, social and spiritual growth and development of our students.

Independent:  Waldorf School of Lexington is an independent, faculty-guided school in Lexington, MA, serving 250 boys and girls in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.  

Worldwide:  Our school is part of the worldwide educational movement of Waldorf Schools, numbering nearly 1,000 schools on six continents.  Waldorf education is the fastest-growing independent school movement in the world.
