The Whatcom Hills Waldorf School was established in 1986 and is approved by the State of Washington as well as the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America. While many schools experiment with programs, Whatcom Hills Waldorf School's curriculum has stood the test of time. The Waldorf curriculum educates the whole child: head, heart, and hand. It is based on an 80-year old tradition of education founded by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher and educator, who had remarkable insights into the needs of the growing child and maturing adolescent. Whatcom Hills Waldorf School is a member of an international network of over 800 Waldorf schools worldwide.
Whatcom Hills Waldorf School is located on a two-acre site nestled in the Geneva neighborhood of Bellingham with Lake Whatcom and the surrounding hills in view. The site of a former public school, it has a 110 year old history in its buildings and playground. In 1998, a new four classroom addition was added to the original school building, and two new classrooms and an assembly hall were added in 2001. Parent involvement at Whatcom Hills Waldorf School is an integral part of the life of the school. There is an active Parent Council, and parents participate in festival celebrations, study groups and parent/teacher meetings, as well as fundraising and promotional events. The Whatcom Hills Waldorf School is a federally recognized and state-approved, non-profit educational institution. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its admissions, educational policies, scholarship, and other school administered-programs. The school is currently seeking funding to complete the assembly hall with the addition of a stage, lighting, seating and acoustical upgrades, as well as upgrading and redesigning the playground to create a safer and more suitable outdoor environment for students. Will you support this school during its period of financial challenge? |
