Founded in 2007, our school serves 70 children in Early Childhood and the Grades program. Our curriculum includes two Foreign Languages, Music, Movement, and Handwork. In addition, we have a parent/child program to introduce young families to Waldorf education. Madison Waldorf School is an associate school with AWSNA (Association of Waldorf Schools of North America) and currently applying for full membership with WECAN (Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America).

The school is located in the vibrant city of Madison Wisconsin, named one of the top destinations in the world by National Geographic for 2027. Home to the state capital and the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Located on an isthmus and lands surrounding four lakes, is a rich intellectual and cultural environment. Neighborhood festivals and cultural events of all types abound, and this small city of 300,000 people is truly a place where there is always “too much to do.” Madison offers a rich mix of farmers' markets, natural food co-ops and stores, and a wide variety of CSA’s. With numerous parks and many miles of bike and walking paths - named a Platinum Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists - outdoor recreation is a way of life for Madisonians.
