The Olympia Waldorf School creates connections with one another and the
community at large, nurtures the whole child, and supports one another in
a process of mutual learning and social renewal.
We are committed to creating a learning environment in which all people
are seen, heard, valued, and honored.
Established in 1985, Olympia Waldorf School is a non-profit alternative school in
the Waldorf tradition serving children and their families of the South Sound.
Situated on five acres of field, garden, and woodland in rural East Olympia,
our campus includes historic Prairie Hall, built in 1914, a modern Middle School
building, and a charming Kinderhaus on wooded acreage. OWS is located just 15
minutes from downtown Olympia.
Olympia Waldorf School is Washington state certified, and received accreditation
from the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America in January 2012.
Olympia Waldorf School does not discriminate on the basis of race, economic status,
religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or gender in the
administration of its admission and academic policies.
“Waldorf Education addresses the child as no other education does. Learning,
whether in chemistry, mathematics, history or geography, is imbued with life and
so with joy, which is the only true basis for later study.”
“By the time they reach us at the college and university level, these students
are grounded broadly and deeply and have a remarkable enthusiasm for learning.”
