What keeps us invested in Waldorf is its focus on more than just academics. It’s about helping our children develop as whole people—encouraging them to think creatively, engage with nature, and face challenges with resilience. The growth we’ve seen in both Phoenix and Aurora speaks volumes about the positive impact of Waldorf education.
When I meet someone who also went to a Waldorf school, I immediately recognize our common foundations, thus, a common understanding of shared emotional intelligence by living through life thinking deeply and intentionally. We lack codependency with technology, we are unapologetic about who we are, and, most importantly, we are curious about the world in whatever form that may be. I, for example, have always been interested in the human condition. This is why I chose to pursue a career in writing, creating, and performing to fulfill my desire to explore what makes us human. I recently graduated from NYU with a BFA in Drama and I now have a community in NYC mixed with talented artists with whom I create, work, and perform in the late hours of the day after clocking out of our day jobs.
Our family chose Waldorf because we wanted Bodhi’s school to be like a second home that reflected our values: a love of nature, creativity and a strong connection with community (just to name a few). It was clear to us from the first time we visited The Waldorf School of DuPage just how wonderful a learning environment it is: the beautiful, warm and peaceful classrooms offering exploration and opportunity, the amazing abundance of and immersion in nature, and, of course, the caring and dedicated faculty.
