Kimberton Waldorf School, founded in 1941 by Alarik and Mabel Pew Myrin, is the second-oldest Waldorf School in North America. Located on 430 acres in semi-rural Chester County, Pennsylvania, with rolling hills, a farm, bubbling creek, and forest, yet we’re only 40 minutes from Philadelphia. The school serves approximately 300 students from parent-child and early childhood through grade twelve.
Founded in the early 20th century, Waldorf Education is based on the insights, teachings and principles of education outlined by the world-renowned artist, and scientist, Rudolf Steiner. The principles of Waldorf Education evolve from an understanding of human development that address the needs of the growing child. This is the wisdom of a nearly century-old approach to education that has become the fastest growing education movement worldwide.
Our integrated experiential approach to education allows students to embody learning through all the senses. Our days are filled with academics, music, arts, and science. We stretch ourselves learning about the world’s civilizations, astronomy, geometry, chemistry, mythology and literature. We engage in sports and gardening, orchestra and electives. We paint, play, sculpt, write, cook, walk, run and sing.
Through these experiences, our students cultivate their intellectual, emotional, and physical capacities to become lifelong learners with an inner confidence in their own abilities to think, create and do.
Kimberton Waldorf School Philosophy
Kimberton Waldorf School offers a developmentally appropriate, experiential approach to education. We integrate the arts and academics for children from preschool through twelfth grade, seeking to inspire a lifelong love of learning in all students and to enable each to fully develop his or her unique capacities.
The teachers at Kimberton Waldorf School are dedicated to generating an inner enthusiasm for learning within every child. This eliminates the need for competitive testing, academic placement, and rewards to motivate learning and allows motivation to arise from within. It helps engender the capacity for joyful life-long learning. Our teachers know that the best way to give meaningful support to the child is to understand these phases fully and to provide “age-appropriate” content that nourishes healthy growth for the Waldorf student. Science, mathematics, music, dance and theater, history, writing, literature, legends, and myths are not simply subjects to be read about and tested. They are experienced.
Waldorf schools are non-sectarian and non-denominational. They educate all children, regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds. The pedagogical method is comprehensive, and, as part of its task, seeks to bring about recognition and understanding of all the world cultures and religions.
