River Valley Waldorf School

River Valley Waldorf School

River Valley Waldorf School was founded in 1994 as the Golden Circle Kindergarten. We are a member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America and are accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools. We also have 501(c)3, non-profit status. River Valley Waldorf School serves families from Central & Upper Bucks County, Northampton & Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania as well as Hunterdon and Warren Counties in New Jersey.

River Valley offers a full K-8 elementary school program as well as early childhood classes for children from birth through 6 years of age. The Waldorf curriculum provides a developmentally based, multi-dimensional, integrated learning environment. In every subject, students are engaged through visual arts, music, movement and hands-on learning as well as story, poetry and the written word. In this way learning becomes alive, vibrant and relevant to the child.
