Tours and admissions events are offered year-round, offering prospective parents and interested individuals the opportunity to learn more about Waldorf education and City of Lakes Waldorf School. Tour dates and times and admissions events are detailed below.

If you are curious about Waldorf education, we encourage you to schedule a visit when school is in session. It’s not possible to understand Waldorf education until you have seen it in action. The tour offers the opportunity to see the classrooms in action and have your pressing questions answered. If you are new to Waldorf education, we think you will be surprised at what you learn. If you think you already know about Waldorf education, we offer you the opportunity to learn more.

Tours are recommended for adults only, as we will be visiting classrooms in session
