Tours and Open Houses

The admissions process begins when you contact the school. We offer programs ranging from Parent and Child through the 8th grade. Our Director of Admissions is available to provide information about Open Houses, School Tours or to arrange an in-depth discussion and tour with you. We encourage interested parents to come and see the world-renowned Waldorf education in action. You may also request an information package about Waldorf education and about the Cape Ann Waldorf School.

Applications are due by January 31st. Applications that are received after January 31st will be reviewed on a rolling basis (based on class openings) for the following September.

Tour the Grades
Tours and Information Sessions are scheduled through-out the year. Come tour several grades during Main Lesson.  For Adults only please. Please register by calling 978-927-1936. Tours are from 8:15 am to 10:30 am. Q&A following tour with Brian Macdonald, 7th grade teacher.

The Main Lesson is a long uninterupted morning lesson. There are 8-10 main lesson subjects, or blocks, of approximately one month’s duration, in the academic year.  During each main lesson block, a major academic subject (reading, writing, science, mathematics, history and geography) is presented and intensively studied.  This allows time for the student to penetrate the subject with unusual depth and to complete a significant piece of work. Ample time is set aside to enliven the subject with poetry, expository writing, painting, drawing, singing, movement or drama. As the student progresses through the grades, main lesson subjects are taken up again and again in more complex levels of study.

“Waldorf Schools have forged a unique blend of progressive and traditional teaching methods that achieve impressive results.”
