New Amsterdam School

✨ Family Spotlight ✨ Meet the Pass Family—it’s their first year at New Amsterdam School! We are so lucky to have them join the Willow Class. When we asked them what made them choose New Amsterdam School, here’s what they shared:

“As parents choosing a school for our firstborn Oliver, we feel so fortunate to have found our home away from home at New Amsterdam School. As a Waldorf school, we love that it focuses on nurturing creativity, imagination, and a deep connection to nature—values that resonate so much with our family. From the gentle rhythms of the day to the emphasis on play and hands-on learning, it feels like the perfect environment for him to grow and thrive.”

We are so grateful to have you in our community ❤️

When the garden treasures call for a good cleaning, the children of New Amsterdam are quick to notice and lend their helping hands. Such wonders the garden holds—the joy and delight of tending to the gnomes and their hidden stories! 🍄 ✨

The Linden Class engages in meaningful, hands-on activities both in and outside the classroom—from wet felting to sanding wood. These tasks reflect the nature-centered and creative spirit of New Amsterdam School. Come discover the enriching experiences woven into their daily rhythms!

Looking for a simple nature activity? Find a stick, some beautiful leaves, poke a hole in each, and string them together! Great for fine motor skills, counting, and connecting with nature. 🍂✨

What makes our school so special? It’s the enchanting garden, the deep reverence for each child and the wonders of nature, and the joy we share together in each precious moment. Now more than ever, we need these spaces of peace and connection. 🌿💕

Tis the season for autumn crowns for the Lindens! We can’t get enough of the beautiful colors of the leaves and all the gifts of the garden 🍁 🍂
