Waldorf School of Lexington serves students from preschool and kindergarten through grade 8 on a historic campus in Lexington, MA, adjacent to the 185-acre Great Meadows conservation land.
The Waldorf curriculum is carefully mapped to children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development and is delivered through meaningful human connections that build a foundation for successful life-long learning. We weave the values of civility and kindness into our daily work in the hopes of building a more tolerant, open-minded world.
Parent & Child
Serving children ages 6 weeks–4 years, Parent-Child classes provide freedom of movement and self-initiated play for children, while parents, caregivers, and experienced teachers discuss child growth and development.
Nursery & Kindergarten
Our Early Childhood programs emphasize children’s freedom to engage in self-directed, imaginative play—both indoors and out—within the structure of a comforting routine.
Elementary School
In first grade, students begin an arts-integrated academic curriculum including the humanities, mathematics and sciences, two world languages, choral and instrumental music, visual and performing arts, and athletics.
Middle School
In the sixth grade, content and quantity of subjects expand significantly to meet the needs of the pre-adolescent. Through an expansive curriculum, students maintain a healthy interest in the world.
An Education For The Future
Our community nurtures ethical, active, and impactful world citizens who thrive independently and collaboratively throughout their lives. By integrating creativity and beauty into every aspect of our curriculum and school culture, our students discover their unique connection to learning.

“We never imagined that a superb education could be so natural and low-stress for our kids. They wake up every morning eager to go to school, and come home every afternoon excited to share what they’ve learned.

Waldorf is truly the best that education has to offer.”
Land Acknowledgment
The land on which we gather, teach, and learn is the occupied, unceded ancestral land and traditional territory of the Pawtucket and their neighbors, the Nipmuc, Massachuset, and Wampanoag. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all past, present, and future indigenous communities. We benefit from this land and are grateful to have the opportunity to work and build community here. We recognize the history and injustice of colonialism and seek to understand our roles in that history and our participation today. We encourage everyone to learn more about the current-day struggles, successes, and celebrations of the Native People who live among us in our communities and throughout this continent.
