Why choose Nelson Waldorf?
Waldorf education develops students who become knowledgeable about the world, have a deep reverence for the natural world, and who have developed the agency and critical thinking skills to create positive change in their community and beyond.
Join A Windows On Waldorf Tour
Are you interested in having your child attend our school? Would you like to know more about Waldorf education? Did you want to come and see our beautiful and unique location nestled in the forest just outside of Nelson, BC? Please come and join a Windows On Waldorf tour.
Every Thursday at 8:45am, our principal, Marcelo Porto-Goncalves, will lead you and your family on a tour of our beautiful campus while explaining the benefits of a Waldorf education. You will see examples of student work through the grades and have the opportunity to ask questions. It’s a friendly and informal way to see if our school might be the right fit for your family.
We look forward to meeting you!
To join us for the next tour please send an email to info@nelsonwaldorf.org to book your spot.
Strength In Numbers Annual Giving Campaign Is LIVE!
This year’s annual giving campaign, Strength In Numbers, is in full swing. Please consider donating to our beautiful school in the forest.
Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 by Winter Break. We can do it!
Every gift, whatever size, helps sustain what makes our Waldorf community special: skilled teachers, handwork and woodworking, music and movement, and the time outdoors that nurtures the whole child.
Your support helps keep tuition accessible and our classrooms rich in the experiences that bring learning to life. If you haven’t had a chance yet, we would be grateful for your participation.
Thank you for being a part of our community.

Your one time donation for this year’s campaign is greatly appreciated, no matter the size. You may also choose to support us with a monthly donation.
*All donations are tax deductable.

We chose Nelson for its pristine outdoor environment, friendly, safe and welcoming community, and its rich artistic culture. The Nelson Waldorf School, situated in the forest, with its gymnasium, Eurythmy hall and many festivals, was the well-grounded school we were looking for.
