Chicago Waldorf School

At CWS, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Beginning in 1st grade, every class takes trips that bring lessons, relationships, and the outside world to life.

Our 3rd graders experienced that tradition this May on their class camping trip. Special shoutout to Mr. Giniat for the beautiful photos!

Weekly summer camps begin TODAY and we can’t wait to welcome all of our campers!! ☀️

It’s not too late to register for various weeks throughout the summer, so be sure to check out our website and enroll for a Waldorf summer to remember: https://www.chicagowaldorf.org/summercamp

The caps have been tossed, the diplomas received, and the photos are here! Excited to share a few favorite moments from graduation and celebrating our newest.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you!

Today, we celebrate and send off our wonderful Class of 2026. We are deeply proud of who you are and who you are becoming, and we feel so fortunate to have been part of your journey. Some of you have grown up with CWS since Early Childhood, while others joined us more recently, but every one of you has left a meaningful mark on this community.

CWHS has been shaped by your presence, your insights, your humor, and your hearts. Congratulations, seniors. We can’t wait to see where you go from here!

What a lovely way to bring the school year to a close! This morning’s Rose Ceremony was a beautiful full-circle moment. Just nine months ago, our seniors welcomed the first graders with roses, and today those same first graders offered roses back in farewell.

We were also treated to wonderful performances from several classes. With graduation tomorrow, it was a truly meaningful moment to spend our final day of school together! 🌹

Today was the last day of school for our Early Childhood program, and we’re feeling all the sweetness of a wonderful year. Here are just a few of the many memorable moments captured throughout the year!

Have a fantastic summer, Early Childhood families! We already can’t wait to see you this fall…or at summer camp!

It’s Electives Week at CWHS! During the final week of school, high school students have the chance to explore new subjects, skills, and experiences outside their usual rhythm. Yesterday, many students spent the morning with Señora Agüero learning about culinary arts through food and culture.

Monday’s focus was Mexico, today students will explore Spain, and tomorrow will feature “arepas” from Venezuela and Colombia.

Jumping into the last week of school like:

Perfect weather for a game in the new gaga pit! ☀️

We are excited to show off this brand-new addition to the park, made possible by the generous gift of the 8th Grade Class of 2025. Students are already putting it to good use on this beautiful day!
