Waldorf School of New Orleans ( formerly The Hill School ) is an independent school that provides solid academic studies taught through the arts, developing intellectual abilities as well as the artistic, social, and emotional capacities of each child. The Waldorf curriculum and approach to education strives to develop balanced individuals who are able to create a life full of meaning and purpose by educating the whole child: body, intellect, and spirit. We provide education for children from preschool through 7th grade, including before and after school care programs and a parent/child playgroup for ages 1-3.
