Our School
Founded in 1971, the Waldorf School of Baltimore is dually accredited by AWSNA and (AIMS) the Association of Maryland Independent Schools. We are a Pre-K through Eighth Grade school. Grades 1-8 have a full complement of subject classes, including Spanish, Handwork, Eurythmy, Music, Art, and Games and PE classes. Our beautiful, hillside campus in northern Baltimore City includes woodlands, fields, and garden activity areas. We are adjacent to Cylburn Arboretum. The school reflects the diverse nature of its community, drawing students from urban, suburban and rural areas. We are committed to working together to strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the school. We are housed in our own beautiful purpose-built building overlooking the city.

Baltimore is vibrant and culturally-rich, offering world-class music, art and restaurants; yet it still has a small town feel. New York, Washington and Philadelphia are a day trip away. Surrounded by the richness of the Chesapeake Bay, it is easily accessible to mountains and ocean beaches.
