Admissions & Enrollment

Overview of Admissions

Our admissions process begins with an initial connection: either an informational call or an in-person tour of our Bellingham campus. You can learn more about our curriculum and community, experience the rhythm of a school day, and have an opportunity to ask questions.

Next, you’ll complete an application online, followed by a phone conversation with your prospective class teacher. When possible, your child will be invited to visit the class or attend a meet-and-greet. This time together helps us develop a fuller picture of your child and make a thoughtful placement decision.

“If you are considering Waldorf education, I hope that you come see it for yourself. Take a tour, see the classes for yourself and ask questions. That is the best way to know if it is right for your family.”
— WHWS Parent
