Celebrating 30 years, The Waldorf School of Atlanta offers a revolutionary notion: that in the midst of our high-speed world, children should be provided a timeless space to do their sacred work. We nurture within students the will to become life-long learners by fostering their ability to think with clarity, feel with compassion, and act with purpose in the world. Located in Decatur, with a satellite location in Inman Park, our school serves children from age 2 through 8^th grade. Our curriculum is rich in every branch of academics and enlivened with the arts and practical skills. As such, it honors your children at each stage of their development, nurturing their current capacities and preparing them for new learning to come.

WHAT’S NEW The Waldorf School of Atlanta celebrates 30 years by preparing students to engage with their generation and the world. We will carry this tradition of sharing throughout the school year in our events and offerings to the community. The Waldorf School has also boosted the school’s student support committee with new staff and clarified positions that offer better learning opportunities for children who need greater support or greater challenge.
