What Toronto Waldorf School says..

Our Mission

Toronto Waldorf School strives to provide an education which fosters in each child a sense of meaning and purpose in life, and confidence in the meeting of individual destiny.

We recognize and welcome the unique gifts brought by each child we serve, and we are committed to supporting all of our students in their intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual development.

We are inspired and guided in our work by the pedagogical and spiritual insights of Rudolf Steiner and the continually growing body of research in anthroposophy which maintains that the highest goal of education is the realization of responsible human freedom.

We carry a vision of Waldorf education as a cultural initiative and a gift to all humanity. It is our ideal that this education be available to all who seek it, regardless of economic status.
