As we embark on a new fiscal year, which coincides with our 50th anniversary, we reflect on the important mission of the Waldorf School of Lexington—cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and perseverance in our students, we strive to instill an enthusiasm for learning, skills in collaboration, and the confidence to engage in a changing world.

To help us champion this mission into the future, we call on a committed group of highly accomplished and visionary leaders, the 2020-2021 Board of Trustees. Whether experiencing this education firsthand as a student or experiencing it through the eyes of their children, Waldorf has played an integral part in their lives. It has inspired them to take on the important mission of ensuring that Waldorf education continues to thrive at a time when it is needed the most.
