Waldorf PS/K - 8 grade
Three Cedars offers Waldorf early childhood through eighth grade education in Bellevue, with a developmentally appropriate, experience-based curriculum. We integrate academic rigor with artistic discipline and kinesthetic engagement, so that each student may develop, fully, his/her unique capacities. Working from an understanding of the distinct, developmental phases of childhood, our teachers provide meaningful support for each phase, bringing age-appropriate content that nourishes healthy growth, each step of the way. The original motivation for the Waldorf education movement was to promote the peaceful evolution of humankind by leading children away from narrow interests toward a broad worldview. Three Cedars Waldorf School continues the active development of that tradition. Consequently, it is out of deliberate policy that we offer Waldorf education to families who desire it for their children regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, class, gender, sexual orientation, family structure, or, to the extent our resources permit, their ability to pay. "Accessible to all" tuition level adjustments are available to approximately 40% of our students. Please schedule a School Tour! Many parenting lectures and workshops are open to the public.
