Waldorf Education in Rhode Island
Meadowbrook Waldorf School is a Nursery through Grade 8 school, with additional programs for younger children and their caregivers. The children learn and play outdoors every day on our 28-acre campus of woodland, streams and meadows.
At MWS, childhood is nurtured with meaningful learning experiences. Time spent in nature engages the child’s innate sense of wonder and curiosity. Working with others to complete practical tasks or to meet an academic challenge inspires critical thinking, empathy and confidence.
With free regional transportation and a strong financial aid program, Meadowbrook Waldorf School is committed to making this education accessible to a diverse community of families.

“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
