Nelson Waldorf School is committed to making Waldorf education accessible to as many families as possible. Our tuition is among the most affordable of Waldorf schools in North America. This is because we believe deeply in the transformative power of this education and strive to keep it within reach.

A Waldorf education is a gift that lasts a lifetime, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a deep love of learning. Our dedicated teachers bring subjects to life through storytelling, hands-on experiences, and a holistic approach that nurtures the whole child—head, heart, and hands.

Steps to Enrolment

1. Application Form

Interested families are invited to complete the application form found here. You will then be contacted by our Enrolment Manager or Principal.

2.  School Tour

The family will be invited for a School Tour to view the campus and classrooms and to talk about the unique aspects of Waldorf Education.   Your guide will be able to answer your question and provide information on next steps.

3. Meet the Teacher

You and your child will be invited to meet your teacher(s), along with the Principal or Student Support teacher. This will give you an opportunity to get to know each other, and for a determination of your child’s skills levels and support needs.

4. Visit the Classroom

Children are then invited to spend up to 3 days in their classroom to get a sense of the daily rhythm, meet their classmates, and explore the Waldorf approach to education. This also gives the class teacher an opportunity to observe the child naturally. (This visit does not take place for Kindergarten enrolments)

5. Student Acceptance

Following the visit, the Principal and class teacher will make a decision on enrolment, and you will be contacted to complete enrolment and contracts. The Finance Office will follow up with tuition and fees.
