There is extensive research on the benefits of art in schools, including how the arts bring joy, foster creativity, increase engagement, build determination and problem solving, and help students acquire complex skills. However, new research suggests that teachers can also use art as a very effective teaching tool to help students remember and master difficult academic subjects. Arts integrated academics are central to how we teach in Waldorf education. We know that incorporating music, poetry, painting and dance all help our students engage, retain concepts, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

We are currently accepting applications. We have a rolling admissions policy and accept students throughout the year when space is available. Join an information session or meet individually with our Admissions Coordinator to learn more about the Vancouver Waldorf School.

Choosing a school is a significant decision in a family’s life. Our admissions process is designed to give you as much information as you need to make an informed decision about enrolling your children. Whenever possible, we encourage all families to book a visit when considering the Vancouver Waldorf School. We want to meet you! It is just as important for us to know who you are and what you are looking for in a school as it is for you to know who we are and what Waldorf education is about.
