Our students experience the best of childhood with daily art, music and creative hands-on (and sometimes muddy) programs that inspire lifelong, enthusiastic learning. Join us on May 14th to get a sneak peek and celebrate the blooming Spring season with us on the farm!

Why Orchard Valley Waldorf School?

Waldorf is the largest and fastest-growing non-sectarian educational movement worldwide. We cultivate a wide range of experiences with the children to develop their interests and capabilities and to bring forth the unique potential of every child. Orchard Valley has long been a local pioneer of nature-based learning. Situated on 55 beautiful rolling acres, our small, teacher-led school combines the best of Central Vermont with education for the whole child and a strong parent and family community. Orchard Valley strives to be accessible to all families and utilizes a Tiered Tuition Model.

I am a parent of two children who have attended Orchard Valley. We are so grateful for this school.
