Everyone has a story to share. The story of Alabama Waldorf School is set in the heart of Birmingham, Alabama. In a world where hurried schedules and unrest threatens to drown out the delicate melodies of childhood, a little wooded school of wonder thrives in the Crestwood neighborhood of Birmingham on a four-acre sanctuary.
Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility — these three forces are the very nerve of education.
— Rudolf Steiner, Founder of Waldorf Education
Our mission is to cultivate healthy, confident, compassionate learners who excel academically, socially, and civically.
We are a community school that embraces the natural rhythm of each child, holding them as they grow and develop while attracting and expanding enrollment, the increased representation of cultures, backgrounds, genders, and identities, and abundant support. We actively affirm that all people are inherently worthy, deserving of our respect, and that each person makes a rich and valuable contribution to our education and school life.
