About Mulberry Waldorf School
Mulberry began in 1993 as the vision of a small group of parents interested in the ideals of Waldorf Education. Mulberry Waldorf School was incorporated as an independent school and not-for-profit, charitable organization. We are accredited by both the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN). We provide programs and classes from Parent and Child programs (Birth to Three) through Grade Eight using the Waldorf pedagogical approach. The Waldorf curriculum offers a developmentally appropriate, experiential, and academically rigorous approach to education. Arts and movement are integrated to enhance and enrich learning. We aim to cultivate freedom in thinking, healthy emotional development, compassion, and imagination – essential capacities for becoming active citizens of the world.
Our school is one of seven Waldorf schools in Ontario, 20 Waldorf schools in Canada, 160 in North America, and over 1,000 globally across 60 countries. Waldorf schools are affiliated with the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN). It is inspiring to be connected to this worldwide community dedicated to wholistic education.
