Congratulations! You have found the Detroit Waldorf School, and the amazing world of Waldorf education is at your fingertips.

The gift of a Waldorf education to each child is in turn a gift to the world. What does Waldorf do that is so special? It delivers an unrivaled education in a way that leaves children happy, healthy and grounded. Children learn in a natural, experiential and age appropriate manner and when they graduate they are fresh, energetic, creative and ready to face the next level of challenges.

While other schools inundate their students with as much information as possible at the earliest age possible, Waldorf works with the brain's natural development, thereby maximizing the learning process every step of the way. Your child can succeed without the stress and burnout our society has come to expect.

The teachers at Detroit Waldorf are committed to the highest academic standards. At our school, you will find children quoting Shakespeare, performing Latin canticles, writing textbooks of Euclidean geometry, and building simple motors in physics. You will also find every third grader playing violin. You will find art in textbooks of all subjects. But most importantly, you will find children with a connection to humanity and a love for life.

Explore our website, or better yet visit our historic school, and consider the gift of a Waldorf education for your child.
