The Alpenglow Program
Waldorf-inspired Outdoor Kindergarten - Grades 6 program

Guided by the principles of Waldorf education and nature connection experiences, our programs are designed to match the natural stages of human development and to allow children to build a sense of wonder and thirst for knowledge. Compassion, imagination and creativity are nurtured in our home-like school environment and a strong foundation for future learning and development is established by integrating the arts, academics and nature immersion. We strive to empower children and to guide them to explore their full potential.
