Two interwoven priorities define the Waldorf Knoll Academy experience: a rigorous academic curriculum and an emphasis on the formation of character in a setting that allows for teachers and students to learn from each other in important ways.
We will have a peaceful, productive and orderly learning environment that meets the academic, social and developmental needs of all the students.
We will foster critical and independent thinking, deep intellectual curiosity, respect for core values, exploration, and lifelong love of learning in every student.
We will prepare and motivate all our students for a rapidly changing world by continuously linking education to life.
Waldorf Knoll Academy also fosters community involvement and service as it prepares students to assume leadership roles in an ever-changing world. As part of its commitment to character formation, the school offers regular community-wide reflections on moral and spiritual issues, as well as exposure to various religious traditions.
Waldorf Knoll Academy attracts intellectually gifted and motivated students from diverse backgrounds whose commitment to serious study is enhanced in this personally supportive and academically challenging setting. On a campus that inspires a particular sensitivity to beauty, teachers — who share genuine respect and affection for young people — impart an enthusiasm for life and for learning.
Waldorf Knoll Academy is confident that its graduates will go forth from a school that values each of them for their particular talents and enthusiasms; that affirms the importance of personal integrity and a sense of self-worth; that inspires and nourishes joy in learning and love of truth; and that provides the intellectual stimulation to generate independent thought, confident expression, and a commitment to improve the welfare of others.
Waldorf Knoll Academy is warm and caring. You can connect with people here in a way that you can’t at other places. Mutual respect and kindness have a big impact here: we encourage you to invest in the lives of others, on the school premises, in our wider community, and even across the globe. We believe that your willingness to serve and give selflessly speaks volumes about your character – and provides the foundation for a life well lived. You will find mentors in, and outside of the classroom, and all the guidance you need to be successful. Our close-knit community always has room for a few more friends. Forge your own path, make new friends and make yourself at home.
