Independent Schools in Minnesota: Private schools in St. Paul, Waldorf school in Twin Cities, preschool, private elementary, middle school programs, kindergarten, early childhood education in Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area for boys & girls
Minnesota Waldorf School: Located in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, Minnesota Waldorf School is an independent pre-K through 8th grade school. We value the critical link between inspiration and education. Music, movement, foreign language, handwork, and art are thoughtfully integrated with a strong core of humanities and sciences. Our classrooms and teachers offer a warm, nurturing environment that allows children's capacities to unfold and grow, naturally. Our students rise to the challenges of learning with a sense of discovery and curiosity.
Whenever possible, teachers remain with the same class from 1st through 8th grade, allowing for growth and a deepening of the class community. Children flow from cooking and imaginative play in preschool and kindergarten, to marching math games and building projects in early grades, and then advance to scientific discovery and critical thinking in upper grades. Our school is fully accredited by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America, as well as AdvancED. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, ability, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, nationality or ethnic origin.
