Literally one of the most incredible environments for a child to exist in. A place where imagination is encouraged and the love of learning is nurtured. We are so grateful for this incredible community of people.

I love this school and I love the teachers! I also love that they are able to offer such a quality education at a much lower cost than other Waldorf schools. The Waldorf education philosophy was rather new to me, but seeing how my granddaughter has been developing in preschool, I have become a firm believer. I love the fact that Waldorf’s emphasis is not on how much technology, reading capability or math the child can learn in preschool, but how well the child can develop their imagination and thinking capabilities. Her imagination skills are constantly developing and when we have a play date she chooses the games and they are always filled with a vivid imagination and a love of nature. Her preschool teacher is wonderful and I have seen firsthand the care and interest she shows towards developing these qualities in every child. I also appreciate Waldorf’s strong music program. My granddaughter is always singing the songs she learns in school and is looking forward to learning how to play an instrument. Waldorf also teaches the children how to interact with their playmates, teachers and other adults. I had an opportunity to witness my granddaughter respond to a rather harsh comment with respect, grace and a sweetness way beyond her age. Waldorf discourages electronics for these little ones and for that I am very grateful. I firmly believe in Waldorf’s concept that children who learn to think not only outside the box but way beyond it will be able as adults to make extraordinary contributions to society and to solving our world’s problems. It is very exciting to watch my granddaughter grow and develop under such a great philosophy.
I appreciate this school's attention to encouraging wonder in the child. It seems to me that the most effective learning comes out of an original awe response that gives rise to curiosity. The City School not only encourages wonder but also develops the kind of free thinking that allows a child to engage that wonder. Class sizes are small so that the teachers have the time to build a deeper connection with each child. The work in languages, arts, and science come by way of creating connections between self and the world. My son loves it here.
This school is amazing!! Holding true to the nuturing spirit of the Waldorf Pedagogy -while somehow remaining affordable is no easy task, but The City School accomplishes it. The teachers here are all so wonderful, dedicated, and gifted - and the community of parents is truly something to behold. Our son disliked going to school before but now he loves school!! I can not speak highly enough of this place - check it out: come to a festival or watch a class and you'll see the magic. Putting my son in this school has been literally life changing. I am so grateful for this place.
I have no words for what an amazing, wonderful, magical community is here. The environment nurtures the children's minds, souls, and spirits. What an amazing school - I am truly grateful we found it. I am not going to get into the entire Waldorf philosophy but this school nails it without going overboard or over-elite, etc. Just good stuff - like home cooking, fairy blessings, and a solid well grounded education. If you are looking for a school for your kid, you really should check this one out.
