Rudolf Steiner School vs. Dalton School

The Rudolf Steiner School, the first Waldorf school in North America, is a vibrant community of students, parents, faculty, and staff.

With a history spanning more than nine decades, our approach to education is vital to life, work, and creativity in the 21st century because we remain dedicated to an enduring goal: to inspire our children to be students, thinkers, and creators.

We serve children from age 2 in our Parent Child Program through 12th Grade.

The Dalton School is committed to providing an education of excellence that meets each student’s interests, abilities and needs within a common curricular framework and reflects and promotes an understanding of, and appreciation for, diversity in our community as an integral part of school life.

Dalton challenges each student to develop intellectual independence, creativity and curiosity and a sense of responsibility toward others both within the School and in the community at large.

Guided by the Dalton Plan, the School prepares students to “go forth unafraid.” As a progressive school guided by the Dalton Plan, we are an intentionally diverse community committed to a tradition of life-long learning and educational innovation.
