Faculty & Staff

UVWS teacher-student relationships are the building blocks of our school. Our faculty is made up of passionate, trained Waldorf teachers who are dedicated to our students and to Waldorf Education.They aim to cultivate the children’s joyfulness and curiosity and develop life long learners. They do so while creating a supportive and safe learning environment for the students.

“Teachers in Waldorf schools are dedicated to generating an inner enthusiasm for learning within every child. This eliminates the need for competitive testing, academic placement, and rewards to motivate learning and allows motivation to arise from within. It helps engender the capacity for joyful life-long learning.”
