CLWS Inclusiveness Statement

“The healthy social life is found when, in the mirror of each human soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when, in the community, the virtue of each one is living.”
Rudolf Steiner, founder of Waldorf education

City of Lakes Waldorf School strives to create and nurture a diverse learning community of children, teachers, families and staff; recognizing and valuing individual differences while promoting and celebrating the richness of our multicultural, multi-ethnic society.

We believe that diversity and inclusiveness strengthen education and foster the essential element of respect that prepares students to live and work in a global environment, and contribute to the well-being of all of life.

Waldorf education is founded in a world view that acknowledges the spiritual nature of all human beings. At CLWS, we strive to honor the freedom, equality, individuality and unique capacities of each child. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive community that respects and affirms each of its members, honoring their diversity of ethnicity, family structure, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. We are committed to an education that fundamentally recognizes and values the many peoples and perspectives of our community and the world.
