Choosing a school involves many steps—asking questions, reading, visiting, filling out forms, meeting with faculty and administrators, meeting other students. It is as important for us to know who you are and what you are looking for in a school as it is for you to know who we are and what a Waldorf school is.
At the White Mountain Waldorf School, we look forward to getting better acquainted with one another. In the process, we hope that you come to share our enthusiasm and pride in the education we offer and that you come to value the rich diversity of our life together.
