Tidewater School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tidewater School was founded in 1999 by the Seacoast Waldorf Association. It began with a kindergarten and first grade and has grown to include a Parent Child program, a nursery, two kindergartens and grades 1-7. Part of an international independent school movement, Tidewater is a developing member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America. There are over 2000 Waldorf early childhood, elementary and high schools, the fastest growing non-sectarian school movement in the world.^{[citation needed]}

Waldorf schools are not-for-profits, governed by a Board of Trustees who oversee the legal and financial business aspects and a faculty of Waldorf trained teachers and administrators who oversee the day-to-day operations and pedagogy. Currently Tidewater has eleven class teachers and assistants, seven specialty teachers (Spanish, German, Movement Education, Woodwork, Strings, Handwork) and two administrators.
