Introduction
Rudolf Steiner School in New York is an independent day school offering a Waldorf Steiner Curriculum for Nursery through Grade 12 on two Manhattan campuses. Lower School (Early Childhood to Grade 6) is at 15 East 79th Street; Upper School (Grades 7–12) is at 15 East 78th Street. Founded in 1928, it was the first Waldorf School in North America and remains part of a Waldorf education network serving 1,000 schools in eighty countries. The school enrolls about 265 students, with small classes rarely exceeding 25 per grade. The Liberal Arts program weaves academic disciplines with artistic expression and practical work, reflecting the Waldorf conviction that education develops intellect, imagination, and will. Regular hours run 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., with After School Programs 3:00–5:30 p.m. Highlights include Main Lesson Seminars, language study, and a commitment to community service, peer tutoring, and meaningful field experiences such as a Kimberton Hills trip for students.
