Aurora Waldorf School provides a classical education, integrating rigorous academics with movement, as well as practical and artistic activities. We work with the ideals, insights and principles of Waldorf Education, acknowledging the gradual unfolding of the human being. We encourage in our students respect and reverence for the wonders of the world and their own humanity. AWS is a welcoming and inclusive learning community, cultivating respect for diversity, and supporting the growth and development of students, teachers, and the community at large.
Aurora Waldorf School is the only independent, coeducational, and non-sectarian school in the Southtowns of Buffalo. Students from over twenty cities and towns throughout Western New York come to our 13-acre campus every day to experience and enliven our programs from Parent-Toddler classes through eighth grade.
