About

Linden Waldorf School was formally established as a nonprofit organization in 1997 by a small group of passionate educators, parents, and community members sharing a vision to educate children in a way that nurtures their will, passion, and intellect, and inspires a lifelong love of learning.

The Linden founders held an implicit belief that every child possesses a unique potential that can be realized through the intentional, transformative education found in the Waldorf methodologies. With dedication and love, they grew the school from one preschool class into a full educational program extending through eighth grade

Our graduates step into the world as whole people: as curious and thoughtful learners; as budding scientists and mathematicians; as skilled artists and musicians; and as grounded and compassionate young adults, eager to listen and ready to engage with the world around them. Linden is preparing the next generation of confident scholars poised to become resilient, courageous, and meaningful contributors to the world.
