Sanderling Waldorf School is the best decision our family has ever made. Our daughter enrolled at Sanderling in second grade. She absolutely loves going to school and is thriving academically, socially and emotionally. The teachers and administrators are some of the most lovely, supportive people I've ever met, who have a deep reverence for child development and understanding of Waldorf pedagogy. Children at Sanderling love to learn! A walk through the halls will be met with children chopping vegetables for homemade soup, knitting handmade items, playing stringed instruments, and creating the most beautiful artwork in their main lesson books. The yard outside is full of vegetables and flowers that the children have planted. You'll see children jump roping to learn multiplication and fifth graders training for the pentathlon. I highly recommend you take a tour and see what Waldorf education is all about!

Our family has been a part of the Sanderling Waldorf School community for 6 years since before our daughter could walk. We have had the pleasure of attending the parent child classes that are a wonderful introduction to Waldorf education, daily rhythm that can be applied to our lives outside of school and to provide our daughter with a strong foundation that school is a place to look forward to attending. Once she was old enough she then participated in the Early Childhood program that allowed her to play, discover and form friendships with her peers. Each day we dropped her off she would run to her teacher, seldomly looking back to see if we were following because she had that much enthusiasm for attending and being a part of this school. Often she would be disappointed on weekends and holidays when we had to inform her that school was not in session. This experience was not just had by our daughter, but by many of her classmates as well. As a parent to have that kind peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands and that she enjoys it so much is such a great feeling. Currently we are in the grades and eagerly awaiting to start the new school year where she will be in Second Grade. We are looking forward to what this next year's journey has in store for her. While Sanderling Waldorf is a school, it is filled with not only supportive and loving teachers/staff, but other families that see the value in this educational experience. Our family feels so fortunate to have found this community that offers so many opportunities for us to engage and make life long friendships.

We’re now in our fourth year at Sanderling Waldorf School and couldn’t be happier. I’ve witnessed firsthand how the school builds self-confidence, fosters empathy, and cultivates a love for learning that I know will stay with our two children—and their peers—throughout their lives. This holistic approach to education aligns perfectly with our family values and is unmatched by any other teaching method.

This school is amazing! The education is based on child development and not bureaucratic agenda. Imagine that! My children started when they were 3 years old and now they’re in high school. Not only did this philosophy prepare them for the academics of high school, but it prepared them to be critical, free thinkers who learn for the love of learning and not only to “pass the test”. The community of teachers and parents is priceless too! I cannot say enough good things about Sanderling Waldorf!!!!
