The HWS educational philosophy is a dynamic one. Waldorf education views each child as a growing human being of body, mind, and spirit, all of which must be nurtured by education. It places human development and creativity at the center of its work and curriculum. The HWS approach provides a rich education preparing children to meet the challenges of our world and the future with:

             • clarity of thought,

             • trust in the value of each human being, and

             • inner confidence.

HWS cultivates the capacity to think and work with heartfelt creativity in the 21st century world. Our goal is for our graduates to become well-rounded human beings who can meaningfully connect with other people and the world around them and create lives full of meaning and purpose.
