Our Mission

Squamish Waldorf School provides a holistic education that addresses the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical aspects of the child. The school develops confident, independent thinkers who have a strong social and environmental conscience and who respond to the world with compassion and creativity. The school community honours the child, fosters harmonious relationships and celebrates the wonder of life.

About Squamish Waldorf School

At the heart of Waldorf Education is the recognition that children pass through distinct stages of development. Each lesson corresponds directly in content and presentation to the appropriate stages of the growing child. This allows the child's skills to unfold naturally as they develop and blossom to their full potential.

SWS offers students an education to prepare them for the challenges of the future. In our ever-changing world, well-adjusted individuals will have the ability to combine critical thinking with creative ideas and find imaginative solutions for complex problems. If they learn early in their lives to seek out and develop a framework for comprehending a holistic picture, they will carry a broader perspective through life.

The Waldorf curriculum carefully integrates a rich texture of practical, artistic and academic activities to help cultivate a well-balanced human being that is able to effectively contribute their unique abilities to society.
