Welcome to the Nelson Waldorf School
More than acquiring information, a Waldorf education is a journey of discovery that lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Why choose Nelson Waldorf?
Waldorf education develops students who become knowledgeable about the world, have a deep reverence for the natural world, and who have developed the agency and critical thinking skills to create positive change in their community and beyond.

We chose Nelson for its pristine outdoor environment, friendly, safe and welcoming community, and its rich artistic culture. The Nelson Waldorf School, situated in the forest, with its gymnasium, Eurythmy hall and many festivals, was the well-grounded school we were looking for.
