About
About Our School
The Steiner School of Ann Arbor serves students from early childhood through twelfth grade and is made up of a dedicated faculty and staff committed to strong pedagogy and community life. Our program includes:
- A rich, developmentally aligned curriculum
- A growing and strong student support program
- Spanish and German World Languages (Grades 1–12)
- Robust fine and practical arts and instrumental music offerings
- Movement classes throughout the school
We celebrate a wide range of Waldorf festivals and world cultural and religious holidays, including Diwali, Lunar New Year, Rosh Hashanah, and Eid. Faculty engage in ongoing study and collaborative work both by level and across the whole school. We have a strong and active College and have partnered with Alma Partners to deepen our work in diversity, equity, and inclusion in recent years.
Our Campus & Community
Our Lower School Campus sits on 12 wooded and grassy acres and serves Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our High School campus is a short drive away. Both campuses feature natural areas, gardens, sports facilities, and shared work and meeting spaces for faculty and staff.
Located in the greater Ann Arbor area, our school benefits from the richness of a university town with a small-town feel. We are close to the Anthroposophical Society, a biodynamic farm, and an Anthroposophical health center. Detroit’s cultural offerings are just forty minutes away, and Michigan’s Great Lakes and watersheds provide abundant opportunities for field trips and recreation.
