Mission & Values
Our Mission
The Waldorf School of Baltimore educates and inspires children to think, feel, and act with depth, imagination, and purpose.
The Waldorf School of Baltimore is deeply committed to nurturing the whole child. Our dynamic curriculum evolves to meet the changing needs of students, guiding them to become not only critical thinkers but compassionate individuals who actively shape their world.
Academic knowledge is intertwined with a deep connection to nature, a sense of social responsibility, and a profound reverence for life. Our students grow into well-rounded individuals, equipped with the resilience and grace needed to navigate life’s challenges.
In a world that often compartmentalizes learning, the Waldorf School of Baltimore stands as a shining example of the power of an integrated approach—where the journey of education becomes a transformative, enriching adventure that shapes the whole person.
We offer a values-based education built upon the foundation of five core principles.
Core Values & Principles
Indigenous Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the Waldorf School of Baltimore sits upon the traditional land of many indigenous Algonquin, Haudenosaunee, and Siouan peoples. We acknowledge that this land and its indigenous inhabitants existed without the rigid political boundaries maintained by settler governments of today.
We honor the social, physical, spiritual, and kinship relationships this land continues to share with all indigenous people who live here today. We honor the continued resilience of all indigenous people in holding steadfast to their identity and cultural traditions. We honor their continued resistance in the face of historical and ongoing oppression.
We acknowledge the ancestral right of the land and waterways to heal, to provide food and medicine for all. As a school community, we recognize the responsibility we have to care for this traditional indigenous land with reverence, to learn from it with respect, and to steward all life on Turtle Island.
