Our Vision

At Michael Oak Waldorf School, we envision a future where every child is awakened to their intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, and courageous action and is equipped to meet life with purpose and compassion, contributing meaningfully to the world around them with clear minds and steady hearts.

Our Values

  • Ubuntu

We value the unique contribution of every human being.

  • Integrity

We are inspired and guided by the qualities of goodness, beauty and truth.

  • Insight

We work from a deep understanding of the developmental stages of childhood as set out by Rudolf Steiner.

  • Collaboration

We foster a supportive triangle of child, parent and teacher.

  • Consensus

We make decisions guided by respectful collaboration and thoughtful consensus.

  • Diversity

We value and nurture our community’s rich cultural tapestry.

  • Reverence

We have a reverence for the natural environment, and this is reflected in a curriculum steeped in nature.

“Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.”
