Mountain Laurel Waldorf School
The Waldorf Curriculum Is Broad And Comprehensive
16 South Chestnut Street, New Paltz, NY | (845) 255-0033
www.mountainlaurel.org
Mountain Laurel Waldorf School located in beautiful and historic
New Paltz, is fully accredited by the Association of Waldorf Schools
of North America and is chartered by the New York State Board of
Regents.
Structured to respond to the three developmental phases
of childhood – birth to 6 or 7 years, 7 to 14 years and 14 to 21 years
– Rudolf Steiner, founder of Waldorf Education, stressed to teachers
that the best way to provide meaningful support for the child is
to comprehend these phases fully and to bring “age appropriate”
content that nourishes healthy growth for the Waldorf student.
Music, theatre, science, math, literature, legends and myths
are not simply subjects to be read about and tested. They are
experienced. Through these experiences, Waldorf students cultivate
their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual capacities to be
individuals certain of their paths and to be of service to the world.
Teachers in Waldorf Schools are dedicated to generating an inner
enthusiasm for learning within every child. This eliminates the need for
competitive testing, academic placement, and behavioristic rewards
to motivate learning and allows motivation to arise from within. It
helps engender the capacity for joyful life-long learning.
Waldorf Education is independent and inclusive. It upholds the
principles of freedom in education and engages independent
administration locally, continentally and internationally. It is regionally
appropriate education with hundreds of schools worldwide today.
GRADES OFFERED: Parent/Child, Nursery, Kindergarten - 8th Grade.

Primrose Hill School

info@primrosehillschool.com,

Primrose Hill School follows the Waldorf philosophy of teaching,
which holds the individual child at the center of the curriculum.
Our Waldorf trained teachers have the freedom to meet each
student’s particular needs and respond to each developmental
stage. This dynamic approach empowers the school to s tay
true to its mission of nourishing and cultivating children to
become their most capable, creative, and individuated selves.
Early Childhood
The nursery and kindergarten rooms have soft, peach-colored
walls and handmade wooden tables. A sweet scent of apple
crisp baking in the oven fills the room. The visitor is drawn into
a sphere of intentional simplicity. Classrooms use only natural
materials, incorporating the pine cones, stones, and leaves that
the children collect on their daily walks.
Grades
The main subjects, such as history, language arts, science, and
mathematics are taught in blocks of two hours per day, called
the Main Lesson during which the children study one subject
intensively for 3 or 4 weeks. The Waldorf curriculum has been
likened to an ascending spiral: subjects are revisited several
times, and each new exposure affords greater depth and new
insights into the subject. Specialty subjects include handwork,
foreign language, movement, music and orchestra.
Agriculture
The farm at Primrose Hill School allows children the opportunity
to work with animals, learn about vegetable gardening, and
experience hands on what it means to be in relationship to the
land. Our Community Supported Education (CSE) program
works to make our school accessible to all.
We are currently accepting applications for PreK through 5th
grade and summer camp for 3 to 6 year olds.
