Minnesota Waldorf School

Minnesota Waldorf School The Minnesota Waldorf School is a top ranked private school serving the Twin Cities, nurturing children’s highest capacities of thinking, feeling and willing.

Offering infant and toddler classes, preschool through middle school. The Minnesota Waldorf School (MWS) is an independent pre-K through 8th grade school, located in St. Paul. We value the critical link between inspiration and education. Music, movement, foreign language, handwork, and art are thoughtfully integrated with a strong core of humanities and sciences. Our classrooms and teachers offer a warm, nurturing environment that allows children's capacities to unfold and grow, naturally. Our students rise to the challenges of learning with a sense of discovery and curiosity. Whenever possible, teachers remain with the same class from 1st through 8th grade, allowing for growth and a deepening of the class community. Our school is fully accredited by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America, as well as AdvancED. MWS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, ability, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, nationality or ethnic origin.

🦋One year of joyful learning is nearly over. Our students built new skills, made new friends, deepened their connection to their work in math, science, language arts, handwork, music and theater. Their belief in themselves grew over this past year as did their courage, while slaying a couple of dragons. Thank you parents for another beautiful year, each week with your children has been an honor.
