Testimonials

 

What Parents are Saying

“I enjoy how Waldorf focuses on the whole child and experiential learning. I believe Waldorf Education helps foster self-confidence and inner strength in the child. Teaches beyond academic knowledge – teaches valuable life skills and gives a sense of community.”

Grade School Parent

“Some of the things we are interested in are the holistic attitude toward a child’s learning, focusing on development and long-term learning on an emotional, spiritual and intellectual level. We like that children learn through experiencing the outdoors, musical and artistic expression, home responsibilities, and being part of a community.”

Early Childhood Parent

“I love that Waldorf teaches the whole child: mind, body and spirit. I love that you teach in a way that allows all children to excel. I love that you teach an appreciation of nature and the world around us. I love that you’re more than just amazing academics — you bring depth to a child’s life and sense of self.”

Experience the Waldorf Difference

At the Housatonic Valley Waldorf School, we believe wisdom begins with wonder. Education is not just a matter of memorization and test taking. Students learn through experience. Located in Newtown, CT, our independent day school is proud to provide elementary and middle school students in Fairfield, Litchfield and New Haven Counties, as well as Eastern New York, with wonderful and life changing programs.

Contact us today to learn about our programs and how our private school will benefit your child.​ Our private elementary and middle school provides programs for early childhood development, including play-based preschool programs, as well as extended care and day summer camp opportunities. Our programs are available to children and families located in Newtown, as well as the surrounding communities of Danbury and Bethel, CT.
