Location by location, Waldorf schools have different reputations. When researching this school before my child attended, I found an article that said, ‘If your child can knit before they can read,’ they are likely in Steiner education. But I was charmed by this lovely little campus and a chance for my child to be artistic and grow up slowly without the demands of tech. It was the biggest mistake I ever made, and I still regret it. Never mind the less-than-rigorous academics; my children were honestly treated awful - and it was by the staff, not the students! I regret my decision to send my children here, as do most parents. This is evident on a school visit, and almost all of the grades classrooms are empty. This is not a place for a child to thrive.

I love this school! It is so nice to be able to learn about various topics with real depth. I used to go to a public school, and it always felt like you had to learn things because it was on a test. Here it feels like you learn it because it matters! There is a depth that you don't feel in other schools.

This school does not have a proper system for teacher selection. Some unfiltered teachers are so much under qualified as educator. Administration is not structured. I can not believe this school is a qualified Waldorf education institution.

I am a student that attended the Waldorf high school as well as going to the lower school for nine years. I think this is truly one of the most amazing schooling systems imaginable. As a student it really encouraged me to have a passion for learning, as well as giving me a wonderful background in art. I am a student with a very high GPA and also very strong in both music and art of varying mediums. In my opinion I owe my success in school to the amazing teachers and alternate education system that is the Honolulu Waldorf School. Truly a magnificent place to grow and learn.

This is the only school that recognizes that every child is unique. Therefore, teachers are very supportive and they help children to develop in a very healthy and positive way.
