Join us for a tour!

Welcome to Ithaca Waldorf School, nestled on our beautiful 80-acre organic farm! In-person tours are available by appointment.

Tours offer parents and caregivers an overview of our school’s philosophy and curriculum, and a chance to observe classes in-session, to see how lessons are taught in joyful and developmentally appropriate ways.

We generally offer tours at 9:30-10:30am on Thursdays. Let us know if you need a different day.

While we recommend starting with a tour, families may choose to submit an application first.

In order to facilitate candid and open conversations,
tours are designed for parents and caregivers only
