Founded in 1986, the Whatcom Hills Waldorf School (WHWS) in Bellingham is part of the largest independent, non-denominational educational movement in the world. WHWS integrates academics and the arts, inspiring life-long learning in each student and enabling them to fully develop their unique capacities and potential. Children love to learn through our vibrant, creative and balanced educational programs for preschool, kindergarten, elementary and middle school students.  This year we celebrate our 25th anniversary in Bellingham. Come visit and get to know us! Guided tours every month provide a first hand experience of Waldorf education in action.

Waldorf is the fastest growing educational movement in the world and is more affordable than ever. Come see why Waldorf education is in the news and cutting edge for yourself. Guided tours are available by appointment. Visit classes, meet teachers and ask questions. Experience how our Early Childhood programs prepare students for the academic and social challenges of the grade school. Observe how Main Lessons inspire a lifetime of learning as you walk through Grades 1-8.

Private tours of our programs are available by appointment only.

It was breathtaking to watch how quickly James bloomed at WHWS."
