Founded in 1986, Cape Ann Waldorf School is a member of the worldwide organization of over 1,000 Waldorf schools in 60 countries around the world.  The education is devoted to teaching to the child's interests and developmental capacities so that learning is meaningful and helps each child grow in a healthy way in mind, body, soul and spirit. Confident, compassionate and creative thinkers, our students are ready to go forth with a strong sense of self, reverence for life and service to their communities.

 

The philosophy and curriculum:

* Foster a deep connection with nature 

* Cultivate long-lasting relationships

* Honor each child's natural development 

* Nurture body, soul and spirit

* Provide healthy movement all day

* Fully integrate the arts and academics

 

Whether you are looking for a warm and nurturing Parent-child class, a Nursery school, Kindergarten, or a rich and deeply challenging Grade School education for your child, we welcome your family to explore our education and community.

 

The school is located on a 10-acre campus at Moraine Farm in North Beverly, Massachusetts (for directions, click here).  If you have questions or would like to schedule a visit to the school, please call Admissions Director, Kelly Hiselman, at 978-927-1936.
