London Waldorf School

About London Waldorf School

London Waldorf School is an accredited independent school located in the University Heights neighbourhood on Beaufort St. It serves the local community by providing educational programming for children from Licensed Care through Grade 8. The school describes itself as a vibrant learning community where education is treated as an art, focusing on a story-based curriculum designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. The school offers Early Childhood and Grade School programs that aim to support the "whole child" by addressing the head, hands, and heart. In the Early Childhood program, children aged 2 to 5 engage in movement, play, friendship, and the discovery of language rhythms. The Grade School curriculum emphasizes developing independent solutions and initiative rather than memorization, incorporating the arts, advanced science, and mathematics. The school also hosts Early Childhood Open Mornings, where children can participate in seasonal activities such as crafts, circle time, stories, snacks, movement, and songs. Founded in the 1980s, London Waldorf School has served as an alternative education choice in the region for over four decades. It is a full member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA). As a registered non-profit charity, the school operates with a mission to kindle positive change in the world through values of empathy, relationship, courage, imagination, integrity, and excellence. The school also maintains an Accessible Tuition Program to provide financial assistance to families.
