Minnesota Waldorf School

Minnesota Waldorf School is a co-ed learning difference program school serving students from prekindergarten through 8th grade in Saint Paul, MN. The school uses the Waldorf approach, which integrates academics with hands-on creative and movement-based learning—particularly beneficial for students who learn through multiple modalities. This multisensory approach supports students with learning differences, ADHD, or those who benefit from kinesthetic and artistic engagement.

The school maintains an average class size of 15 students with 11 classroom teachers, creating a smaller, more individualized learning environment. The curriculum weaves together math, science, language arts, and humanities with music, art, movement, foreign language, handwork, and horticulture. The eight-acre campus includes prairie restoration, wetlands, and an orchard, offering outdoor spaces that support both physical activity and sensory-rich learning experiences.

With rolling admissions and a 70% acceptance rate, Minnesota Waldorf School enrolls approximately 161 students annually. Annual tuition is $15,000, and families are encouraged to contact the school directly to discuss whether their child's specific learning needs align with the school's learning difference programs and teaching philosophy. The school is nonsectarian and is a member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America.
