Portland Waldorf School is a private Waldorf school in Milwaukie, Oregon, United States.
The school has been accredited by the Associated Waldorf Schools of North America since 2002,[1] and by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools since 2005.[2]
With over 300 students in Pre-K through 12th grade, Portland Waldorf School is a full member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and, like other Waldorf schools located worldwide, educates children using Rudolf Steiner’s profound insights into the developmental phases of childhood. In 2009 we were again granted full Accreditation for 7 years with the remark that, " Portland Waldorf School is a model of a Waldorf school working diligently with the foundations and principles of Waldorf education."
Based on a profound understanding of human development, we are a part of the largest independent, non-denominational educational movement in the world. The fruits of Waldorf provide a detailed, richly artistic curriculum that also connects the students to nature and prepares them for the future. In addition, the curriculum strives to enhance the child's developmental phases and cultivates social and emotional intelligence.
Out of strong confidence in the innate power unfolding in each child, teachers cultivate three fundamental qualities that are sure bases for lifelong learning: reverence towards all that lives, gratitude and respect for the efforts and accomplishment of others, and responsibility for the child’s own free and self-disciplined action. In this way, the Waldorf teacher strives to be a worthy guide to and guardian of the unfolding gifts of each child.
We are one of more than 1000 Waldorf Schools and 1600 Early Childhood programs in the world. We are fully accredited by both AWSNA (Association of Waldorf Schools of North America) as well as NAAS (Northwest Association of Accredited Schools).[6]
