Grade School Admission Policy

We strongly recommend that children turn 6 years old by April 30, prior to the fall of enrollment into first grade. All children will be evaluated for developmental readiness. Parents should have an understanding of the basic tenets of Waldorf education and be supportive of the school’s philosophy at home. The White Mountain Waldorf School seeks to develop a culturally and economically diverse student body. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin in admissions policy, educational programs, or school governance.
