Corvallis Waldorf School is proud to be an independent, not-for-profit educational organization. Through the efforts of our faculty, staff, parent body, and Board of Trustees, we ensure the families and individuals of the Mid-Willamette Valley have access to educational opportunities based on the indications of Rudolf Steiner.

DEI Statement

We at Corvallis Waldorf School denounce discrimination, bigotry, and racism in any form and acknowledge their presence in our history, culture, institutions, and personal lives. We take an organizational and pedagogical approach to nurturing diversity, equity, and inclusion in our classrooms and school community. Our school fosters inclusive collegiality and community participation in which individual and institutional dialogue reflect the diverse strength of will, depth of feeling, and clarity of thought required to manifest change. The curriculum, enriched with traditions, songs, and stories representing cultures worldwide, instills a love for learning and goodness toward humanity in our students and cultivates compassionate critical thinkers who acknowledge and resist inequities and injustice. The teachers are intrinsically and explicitly tasked to help students seek awakening within themselves, gain wisdom, confidence, and serenity in all feelings, and courageously face challenges the future will bring.

We endeavor to support students in their true beings and to build school-family partnerships within a foundation of belonging, trust, integrity, and transparency. Corvallis Waldorf School welcomes and aspires to meet the needs of all individuals from diverse socio-economic, racial, religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, gender identities, marital statuses, abilities, and demographics. As an ongoing process, Corvallis Waldorf School strives for inclusivity, embraces feedback, and promotes ongoing reflection to move beyond an understanding of structural prejudices and become a community of advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
