Aurora Waldorf School (AWS) is a welcoming learning community for students in Pre-K through 8th grade with a focus on relationship-based education. Situated on a 13-acre campus bordering a creek and an old-growth forest, we extend lessons into the outdoors, translating joy-filled learning into wonder and appreciation for the natural world.
At AWS, we believe:
Childhood is to be honored and preserved
- Learning is not to be rushed
- School can be a joyful place
- Every child deserves to be outside every day
- The arts are essential to our humanity
- Education is more than just the exchange of facts and information
The classroom experience includes daily movement, music, outdoor play, and artistic subjects interwoven with traditional academics. Hands-on lessons pique curiosity and enliven the learning experience, empowering students to immerse themselves in the subjects before them.
Based on the principles of Waldorf Education first developed in the early 20th century, the developmentally appropriate curriculum is consciously adapted for today’s students, guided by a caring, dedicated community of teachers. Graduates of Aurora Waldorf School go on to lead their high school and college classes, build dynamic careers that improve the world, and travel the globe in a quest for experiential learning that never ends.
Drawing from a variety of WNY communities, the school promotes ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity.
