Mountain Laurel Waldorf School

Mountain Laurel Waldorf School has been a terrific school for my children. We moved from Brooklyn three years ago and fell in love with the beauty and warmth of the school and teachers at the open house and since then have had our educational expectations surpassed. I have marveled at the blossoming of each of my children as they grow within the education and community MLWS provides. Their early childhood program offers such a cozy environment for the little ones- their days are rich with song, nature, stories and play. My kindergartner has a broad smile and joyful spirit at the end of her days.
In first grade, my daughter has had such a wide and gorgeous experience of her learning. Truly taking in the knowledge and approaching her world with confidence and curiosity. The teachers are wise and have high expectations for their classes both in terms of skill level and personal integrity. Our family life has been enriched with the sense of beauty and community that MLWS has instilled in us.

Mountain Laurel provides a remarkable, whole-person learning opportunity for children. My kids have gained so much from their teachers, peers, and from the unique way the school provides opportunities for older and younger grades to mingle.

Mountain Laurel has been an incredibly rewarding experience for my children. They come home from school each day smiling and enjoy learning. Lessons are brought to each of them in a creative and thoughtful way. It's not about rote memorization. It's about truly understanding the material. A teacher is encouraged to think creatively when he or she brings material to the students and that makes for a rich and diverse learning experience. As important is the character-building each teacher engages in with students. Learning about sympathy, perseverance and respect plays an important role at Mountain Laurel and, because of this, students graduate with the confidence and will to take on anything. It's a beautiful thing to watch unfold. I highly recommend Mountain Laurel to any parent who wants their child to be held fully. It's also a great place for parents if they want to be part of a unique and enriching community.
