Welcome to Our School
Wishing Well is a school inspired by Waldorf education, providing a screen-free educational approach. We go beyond the development of the intellect to uniquely and fully meet the needs of the whole child. Hence, our program is designed to instill within each student a reverence for academic excellence, artistic expression, social integration, and practical life skills. We recognize that children are imbued with an inherent love of learning which can be met through imagination, nature, curiosity, authenticity, love, and a little bit of magic. At Wishing Well, our approach yields strength of character, human resilience, creative problem-solving, and compassionate intelligence -- empowering our students to bring goodness, beauty, and truth into the world. Choosing the right educational path has a lifelong impact on your student and your family. It's a decision that not only shapes the learner they are today, but also makes a precious imprint on who they become in the world tomorrow.

Why Now?

WHAT IS Unique about our Program?
Wishing Well is a school inspired by Waldorf Education. Our program cultivates social and emotional intelligence, along with academic excellence, creating a strong foundation for the whole child. The curriculum and methodology provide an intellectually robust, artistically rich experience that is harmonious with the developmental stages of the child. Rather than shaping or forming a student, our program allows students to unfold in their own unique way, nurturing the inner life of each individual as they progress from early childhood to middle school. Our students have a lived experience of healthy and enduring human relationships between teacher, student, classmates, and community, serving them throughout adulthood. This learning is supported by the wisdom of nature, igniting a passion for lifelong learning.

"The heart of the Waldorf method is the conviction that education is an art -- It must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, the heart and will must be reached as well as the mind."
– Rudolf Steiner
