The proof of why our efforts are so important comes from the words of our alumni:
“I believe the Waldorf approach gave me solid ground to work from. I felt like I could tackle anything and was prepared in a deeper way to learn.” --K. Kakizaki, Class of 2001
“Looking back on my eleven years of Waldorf Education, I realize that it gave me a strong educational and emotional base on which I continue to build my life. . . . I do think that Waldorf helped me develop a creative, imaginative way of thinking and learning which I will use my whole life.” --M. Larsen, Class of 2005
“This community, one might even say family, which revolves around the school, is so intimate, so caring and supportive, as to infallibly produce strong individuals, confident in their abilities, and ready to take on any challenges the world may attempt to thwart them with.” --C. Ashmead, Class of 2005
“The strengths I found I had brought to high school with me as a result of Waldorf Education were creativity and a do-it-yourself approach to each project. I found that I went above and beyond on my writing and general work because of the Waldorf tradition of putting your best effort into everything you do.” --M. Campbell, Class of 2006
“The sun with loving light, gives life to me each day…” It began with these true, simple words in first grade, back when I was unaware that my childhood spent at Waldorf would mark the most formative, inspirational years of my life. I…carry within me each day a continued reverence for the infinite knowledge to be learned through my interaction with world.” --O. Allen, Class of 2008
In 1992, a group of parents got together with a vision of bringing Waldorf Education to their children and our community. Today we are still fulfilling that vision! We have created a vibrant, strong, multi-faceted Waldorf community here in Anchorage. So many have given their time, their energy and their loving care to our school over the years and continue to strive to fulfill our mission.
