Who Attends UVWS

  • Diversity: In keeping with the socially and culturally inclusive nature of Waldorf education, UVWS welcomes students, families, faculty and staff of all races, faiths, creeds, gender and sexual orientations. It is a fundamental goal of our education to bring students to an understanding and experience of the common humanity of all of the world's people, transcending the stereotypes, prejudices, and divisive barriers of classification by sex, race, religion, and nationality.

  • Economics: Approximately 50% of UVWS families receive financial assistance. UVWS is committed to making Waldorf education as accessible as possible for all who seek it. For this reason, we maintain a significant financial aid program.

  • Gender: Although percentages vary within each class, overall the school maintains a balance between girls and boys. Currently, the gender ratio at UVWS in grades 1 - 8 is 54% girls and 46% boys.

  • Geography: UVWS attracts families from across the Upper Connecticut River Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire and beyond. A sampling of representative towns in Vermont includes Barnard, Bethel, Bridgewater, Brownsville, Corinth, Hartford, Hartland, Norwich, Perkinsville, Pomfret, Quechee, Reading, Sharon, South Royalton, Tunbridge, Vershire, Weathersfield, White River Junction, Wilder, Windsor, and Woodstock.
