About the School

Founded in 1974, Ringwood Waldorf School is part of the fastest growing independent educational system. The Waldorf curriculum is designed to work in harmony with the different phases of each child's development to balance their physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs.

The Ethos of Ringwood Waldorf School

We work out of respect for the dignity of each human being and strive to maintain a community where diversity and collaboration are promoted and celebrated. As a result, we strive to be inclusive of all, irrespective of circumstances and our policies and development plans have been built on these principles.

Ethos Statement

The Education

The emphasis is not only on the intellectual development of the child, but focuses equally on developing the child’s feeling life (artistic and emotional) and also her life of will (the ability to carry through ideas into a finished piece of work, incorporating all the steps in between). In this way, we allow the child’s potential to unfold and to grow into a self-motivated, content adult.
