About the Cape Ann Waldorf School

The Cape Ann Waldorf School is one of over a hundred schools teaching the Waldorf method in the United States today. Our school serves over 130 children enrolled in Grades 1-8, as well as parent/child classes, nursery, and kindergarten.

Situated in Beverly Farms, Massachusetts, on Boston's North Shore, the school currently serves students coming from the following communities:

Amesbury, Beverly, Boxford, Byfield, Danvers, Essex, Georgetown, Gloucester, Hamilton, Haverhill, Ipswich, Lynn, Magnolia, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Marblehead, Newburyport, Rockport, Rowley, Salem, Swampscott, Topsfield, Wakefield, Wenham

Waldorf schools offer a unified and holistic approach to education aimed at producing creative, secure, free-thinking individuals who can one day take a responsible place in adult society. The Waldorf curriculum corresponds to the natural stages of a child's development so that form and content parallel the child's own growth.

A Waldorf education integrates all the standard academic subjects with a broad background in science and humanities and a consideration of moral principles as well as physical skills.

CAWS is a member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA). Each Waldorf school is autonomous and independently run, yet linked nationally and worldwide by their educational philosophy.

Mission

The mission of the Cape Ann Waldorf School is to provide the foundation upon which children become aware, well-rounded, healthy adults capable of facing the challenges of tomorrow, and to offer Waldorf education in a non-elitist, non-discriminatory manner to all children whose parents desire it.
