We strive to make space for applicants. If you are interested in a program that is full, you must complete an application to be placed on the waitlist. This helps us gauge serious interest so we can adjust our programming and make space as we are able. Families’ circumstances can change throughout the year, and we are often able to process waitlisted applicants.

WHY WINDSONG SCHOOL?
In June of 2018, our Early Childhood Program was granted Full Membership into the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America, the accrediting body for Waldorf early childhood programs. This is a great honor and the culmination of years of hard work by our entire Early Childhood faculty and staff.
Located less than 10 minutes from downtown Spokane, we are fortunate to be situated on the gorgeous and historic, Mukogawa U.S. Campus. Our classes have access to acres of meadow and wooded area, Riverside State Park, and the beautiful Spokane river. All of our classes spend at least an hour in nature every day. For our grades students, Fridays are spent hiking down to the river after their main morning lessons.
Our location on the Mukogawa U.S. Campus affords our students many opportunities to learn about and experience Japanese culture. Our grades students take both Spanish and Japanese classes from native speakers twice per week. The goal of these classes isn’t merely learning a foreign language, but gaining a deep, genuine knowledge and understanding of other cultures.
Waldorf education is based on observations of child development, much of which is backed up with modern scientific research. Every class at Windsong is designed with child development at the forefront. Meeting the children where they are at is nurturing to their whole being. It allows them to flourish and truly live into the curriculum.
At Windsong, art is not taught as a separate subject, but rather as a means through which to understand and see the world. All the subjects in our grades classes are brought through chalk drawing, painting, modeling, dramatic performances, songs, etc. In our early childhood classes the children also engage in an artistic pursuit each day.
