Statement

Prairie Hill Waldorf School exists within the larger community of Waldorf schools with a long-standing commitment to social renewal. We strive to create a conscious, and collaborative learning community that provides our students with the necessary foundation for adapting to our ever-changing world.

In accordance with these values, we are committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion as a pathway to social justice and to rectify the explicit and implicit biases that undermine the efforts of building a healthy social life. We are dedicated to the self-reflection needed to strengthen this mission. We are committed to awakening to the needs of all and ensuring that our school addresses diversity, equity, and inclusion in ways that are meaningful and impactful.
