The Detroit Waldorf School supports its Pre-K through 8th grade students with skillful, enthusiastic teaching and a nurturing school community.

Visit our campus and you'll find children who are fully engaged in activities that challenge the mind, fire the imagination—and reflect the diversity of Metro Detroit.

Our extraordinary approach meets children's natural curiosity by blending the arts, sciences, humanities and introducing concepts at developmentally appropriate stages.
