Our History
1984
The Halton Waldorf School opened its first kindergarten class of 16 children in a temporary site in Campbellville in 1984. Each year thereafter a grade one class was added until the school grew to include all of the grade levels from one to eight.
Throughout our pioneering stage we received great support from the Toronto Waldorf School and the Waldorf School Association of Ontario.
1988
In 1988, several Oakville families became interested in starting a Waldorf kindergarten for their children, and worked with the Halton Waldorf School to establish a satellite classroom. This became The Lakeshore Waldorf Kindergarten, which thrived on its own for several years.
2000
As each of the campuses expanded, the faculties and boards of Halton Waldorf School and Lakeshore Waldorf Kindergarten decided to amalgamate as the Halton Waldorf School.
We opened the doors in January 2000 at our present location, 2193 Orchard Road, in northeast Burlington on a beautiful forested property.
What People Say
SARAH NICHOLL
Being relatively new to Halton Waldorf, I dove right in and became engaged in the school community. The Parent Association was a tremendous opportunity to understand all the work, care, and consideration that goes into the operations of the school.
The best interests of the children are truly at heart.
KEVIN RASMUSSEN
It is thanks to the Halton Waldorf School that I keep a very open mind and am interested in all that goes on around me.
I truly love what I do and am constantly learning and eager to learn more.
