About the Program: 

The Meadowbrook Waldorf School offers Waldorf education to children in pre-kindergarten through Grade 8, with additional programs for younger children and their caregivers.Our beautiful campus has 28 acres of woods, streams and magical glades for exploration and play.

Mission Statement: Meadowbrook Waldorf School is a learning community based on the work of Rudolf Steiner and the understanding of the human being as body, soul, and spirit.  The education offered here supports children in unfolding their individual capacities for living in the world, so that that as free human beings, they may take up their life's tasks.

Guiding Principles:

The Waldorf curriculum is a social education that unites academics, the arts, movement, practical work and a deep respect for the natural world.

Based on anthroposophical  principles, our education meets and supports healthy developmental phases of the individual child for life.

We strive to offer this education to those who seek it here and invite a community that reflects the breadth and diversity of humanity.

We endeavor to nurture living organizational structures which cultivate relationships based upon respect, trust, and love for the developing human being.

The members of our community support the mission of the school so that the ideals of Waldorf Education have a certain and secure future in Rhode Island.
