New Waldorf and Steiner places and open days in Oregon, once a month

One email a month with the places added to Starpath in Oregon, and the open days and fairs coming up at places there. If nothing is new, we don’t write. You can stop the emails any time.

Learning at home?

Starpath’s Waldorf-inspired lessons cover grades 1 to 3, and grade 4 is being added. Sophie, a Waldorf class teacher, wrote the stories, verses and activities for each day. 14 days for $7, then $47 a month. Cancel before the trial ends and you aren't charged again.

How we label places

A place is called a Waldorf school or kindergarten here only when its national association lists it as a member. We check those lists ourselves and date the check.

Everything else is a place that describes its own approach as Waldorf-inspired. Many are lovely, and some are on their way to membership, so it is worth asking them.

Schools for children with special educational needs or disabilities are marked Special education and listed in their own section.

If there is a school near you, go and see it

Most schools and kindergartens hold open mornings, and many run parent-and-child groups for the youngest. A visit tells you more than any page can. If there is no school within reach, or it is not the right fit, you can still bring the same rhythm, stories and handwork into your home.
