Trillium Waldorf School

” This is our first year at Waldorf and my 7 YO child couldn’t be happier. He loves building forts, climbing trees, knitting, singing, playing the recorder, jumping rope, listening to fairy tales, drawing, rhymes, tongue-twisters, and public speaking to name a few. I love that all these things that bring him joy are helping him to build strong foundations that will serve him well in the future. Trillium Waldorf nurtures his soul, body, heart, mind in ways that most schools today do not. I’m confident his education is preparing him to become a well rounded individual who is curious, compassionate and empathic, a critical thinker, an ethical decision maker, and a leader. “

” My children have benefitted greatly from their education and amazing teachers at TrWS. I would recommend anyone check out the school if they are considering independent schools in Guelph. “

” Our family has been involved with Trillium Waldorf for 13 years from the Parent and Child program through the grades. We are so grateful for the rich academic curriculum, the strength of the art and music programs, the diverse field trips, hands- on learning opportunities, strong environmental connections, and plenty of community involvement. We are really connected to our children’s school experience. Highly recommend Trillium. “

” Enrolled my son Gustav for Grade 1 💕 best decision ever, wish I’d taken the leap of faith and enrolled for Kindergarten. This school is the idealistic one you see in picture books 🥰 The school is looking into how to move away from some of the original religious ideas in order to be more inclusive and welcoming for everyone. Religious aspect aside, I for one LOVE the spirituality they foster. Everything is carefully arranged to subtly teach the grade 1s to get into their bodies and master movement and self control (through play), before they get stuck in their mind 24/7 with modern life. So necessary! “

” Our experience with Trillium has been nothing short of exceptional! As parents seeking a holistic and nurturing environment for our child, we are delighted to have found this hidden gem of a Waldorf school. From the moment we stepped into the welcoming atmosphere, we could sense the commitment to fostering creativity, individuality, and a genuine love for learning. The dedicated teachers and staff have not only cultivated a rich academic environment but also instilled a deep sense of respect for nature and community. The Waldorf approach at Trillium has been transformative for our child. The emphasis on experiential learning, artistic expression, and a well-rounded curriculum has ignited a passion for knowledge within our little one. The integration of music, arts, and outdoor activities into daily lessons sets this school apart, providing a truly holistic education that goes beyond textbooks. Communication between the school and parents is exemplary. Regular updates, insightful parent-teacher conferences, and a genuine partnership in our child’s educational journey have made us feel truly connected to the Trillium’s community. Additionally, the warm and inclusive community has given us the opportunity to connect with other like-minded families. The school’s events and festivals provide a platform for parents to actively participate in their child’s school life. In summary, Trillium Waldorf is more than just a school; it’s a home away from home where children flourish in an environment that values their individuality. We are grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our family and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a holistic and enriching education for their child. “
