Malamalama Waldorf School is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The Waldorf Curriculum addresses the aspects of the growing needs of the developing child.
“Joy and happiness in living, a love of all existence, a power and energy for work … the need for imagination, a sense of truth and a feeling of responsibility, these are the forces which are the very nerve of education.”
-Rudolf Steiner It is the policy of Malamalama Waldorf School to maintain a school and work environment free of all forms of unlawful discrimination. The company affords equal op
portunity to all students and employees and prospective students and employees without regard to race, color, s*x, gender, s*xual orientation, religion, age, marital status, disability, veteran status or national origin or other criteria protected by law. Founded in 1978, Malamalama offers preschool through eighth grade curriculum at our campus in Hawaiian Paradise Park on the island of Hawaii. Our 20-acre campus offers students a harmonious and nurturing environment surrounded by the natural beauty of "old" Hawaii. Malamalama Waldorf School is committed to educating the thinking, feeling, and the will of the whole child. Our primary goal is for our students to achieve academic excellence while building a good foundation for the love of learning. Waldorf Education fosters the ability to think with clarity, to feel with compassion, and to initiate change with confidence. Waldorf Education is based on the ideas of educator, artist and philosopher, Dr. Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) who founded the first Waldorf School. Children are challenged to develop faculties of the head, heart and hands – the thinking, willing and feeling capacities in us all. At Malamalama Waldorf School academic subjects are taught in interesting and engaging ways and are supported through the arts including movement, Japanese language, violin and viola, handwork, music, gardening, and woodworking.
