Arlington Heights

I saw a kid running around with no shoes or shirt on absolutely ridiculous

Couldn’t imagine sending my son to another school! He has flourished since starting there. My experiences with his teachers and the staff has been nothing short of wonderful. He has access to services with reading and he comes home happy every day. We were on the fence about doing the aftercare but he loves it so much he doesn’t want us to pick him up early. They have so much to offer the students and he is exposed to some amazing experiences. We love LMS!

Fayerweather has been an engaging, exciting, challenging experience for our kids, giving them a strong sense of ownership and agency over their own educations. We see in them the self-awareness to work effectively in teams and connect with others (even or especially those that don't think or identify as they do!) - and that's a direct result of the focus on social and emotional development in the classroom and more broadly in the school. They're curious to root out patterns and systems that impact our world and the people in it, because they've been exposed to Fayerweather's rich curriculum and the critical thinking lens the teachers apply to it.Now situated in a competitive and academically challenging high school, our older child is academically ambitious, eager to partner with peers and teachers, and comfortable in their own skin. Our younger child is making the most of their last years at Fayerweather, finding voice and collaboration through creative ventures like the Unit Play, and digging into complex curricula like Shakespeare's Macbeth, Orwell's Animal Farm, and an interdisciplinary study of the history and science of regional cuisines. We're grateful we chose Fayerweather and are excited to see where this learning foundation takes our kids next!

Our kids absolutely love attending the Waldorf School of Lexington! The teachers and staff create such a thoughtful and attentive environment. Our children come home genuinely excited about their day, feeling safe and connected. The Waldorf philosophy, especially the focus on hands-on learning and screen-free experiences, is something we love—it allows our kids to stay grounded in the real world.This school feels like a community that really ‘gets it’ when it comes to education and community. We couldn’t be happier with how it encourages both intellectual and emotional growth in a warm, supportive atmosphere.
