Mission Statement The Brooklyn School initiative, in its third year, is a non-sectarian education center that is part of the growing international Waldorf School movement. In our dedication to the principles of Waldorf education, we strive to provide an educational experience that meets the needs of the whole child in an age-appropriate manner. We are committed to building a school whose student body, faculty, staff, and curriculum reflect the economic, cultural and racial diversity of Brooklyn, New York. We are also committed to acting as a resource for the greater Brooklyn community by hosting festival celebrations and ongoing parent and community education. The Brooklyn School is a “developing status” member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America. Admissions Overview The Brooklyn School looks forward to becoming acquainted with you and assisting you throughout the application process. Deciding on a school for your child is an important and difficult choice and we encourage you to ask questions, review literature, visit and meet with current students, parents, administrators, faculty members and Waldorf school alums. Just as it is important for you to familiarize yourself with Waldorf education and The Brooklyn School, it is just as important for us to learn about your family and what you are looking for in a school.
