ALBANY — Thursday, Sept. 19, marked the 100th anniversary of Waldorf education across the globe. Currently, there are 1,000 Waldorf schools in the world, with 150 in North America, including the White Mountain Waldorf School in Albany, which has been offering a Waldorf education to children in the Mount Washington Valley for more than 34 years.

Waldorf schools offer a developmentally appropriate, experiential and academically rigorous approach to education. They integrate the arts in all academic disciplines for children from preschool through twelfth grade to enhance and enrich learning. Waldorf education aims to inspire life-long learning in all students and to enable them to fully develop their unique capacities.
