As we are working on completing the high school project, we plan on starting construction of the Festival Hall addition and then the lower school campus in phases.

The SMWS Board of Trustees is very appreciative of all those who have worked tirelessly over many years to achieve this major milestone with Boulder County.

“I feel like one of the really important things that you get out of a Waldorf education is curiosity—curiosity to go and learn and explore what’s out there in the world. I fell into engineering and a path that I don’t think I would have anticipated, but having an arts background where you’re bringing creativity and imagination into problem-solving, there’s a really incredible synergy between those.”
