Brooklyn Waldorf School educates its students as whole individuals, providing for their academic success and the development of their artistic capacities, emotional intelligence, and physical knowledge of the world. BWS fosters a purposeful and well-rounded learning experience, prioritizing a strong sense of community belonging among students, families, and educators.

Centering a conscientious learning experience, BWS’ curriculum and programming continue to revitalize essential tenets of Waldorf education while striving to embody shared values and celebrate the school's urban home. BWS teachers inspire as they educate through hands-on exploration that deepens each student's bonds with the natural world, emphasizes traditions and mythologies of global cultures, and enriches curricular studies in language arts, history, science, mathematics, choral and orchestral music, Mandarin, Castellano, movement, handwork, and woodworking.

From the thoughtfully guided, student-led play of Early Childhood to the Middle School’s dynamic academics, BWS empowers children to recognize themselves as active contributors to their own learning and passionate stakeholders in our ever-evolving world. The Brooklyn Waldorf School is a developing member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and a full member of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN).
