We enrolled her in Olympia Waldorf trusting the promises of a nurturing environment, holistic education, community, and balance. What we actually experienced was chaos, lack of accountability, broken promises, and a lot of emotional strain. This school is nothing like what is advertised. Please do your research there are even documentaries that shed light on the reality. Sending my daughter here is one of my biggest regrets as a parent. If you want your child to be ostracized, send them here. Out of respect for my child I choose not to put specific details here. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

I have a high school graduate who attended from third grade through graduation as well as two current students in middle school and early childhood. I've watched all three of my kids enjoy seasonal celebrations & festivals, deep connections with friends & teachers, and vivid memories of quality time spent outside & on meaningful field trips. The deeply personal experience of having a teacher with you from first grade through eighth grade is unmatched in my opinion. Teachers have years to form a much greater understanding and connection with children in this longer timeline format of education and it gives a much more personal and caring environment for children to learn and grow in. The philosophies and theories behind this type of education also ask that teachers are always learning, growing, and improving on all levels of their being, which translates to teachers that are self-aware and emotionally intelligent, always striving to better themselves and to understand and support their students. I also love that the school teaches music and foreign languages from such a young age. Woodworking, needlefelting, knitting, and other handwork skills are also such an integral part of this education that children leave the school with skills that most of us as parents wish for! (We usually get some pretty great handmade holiday and birthday gifts as a result also!) The parent community cannot be beat here. I've seen so much support for families, and so many important foundations of community throughout. When one parent needs help with carpools, emergencies, meal trains--you name it, this community shows up. It's inspiring to see the care and love put into not only the experience for the children, but for the entire family. It sets the precedent for the children to grow up taking an active role in their community and I feel we truly model how to show up for people and how to take care of people here. We truly have met so many amazing lifelong friends in this community that have stood by us in times of crisis and need. Its so much more than a school!

Massive illegal homeless camps everywhere around here, AND GUESS WHAT? Did the overall majority of students and general public look healthy and happy? NO! Absolutely not! Also, these businesses are blind to what's going on. They have people begging for change outside their store, as they charge $20 for a sandwich?
