We have been so happy at this school! I've had two kids in the school so far and have found the teachers in particular to be phenomenal. They are able to hold space for kids to go through their emotions so they can approach learning from a calm, centered place. My two kids are very different, and th

Posted by a parent on 6/16/2023I have two kids at Thornton Creek and one who has recently graduated and is in Middle School. I was worried about my son's transition to middle school but am happy to say it has been so smooth. This has much to do with his time at Thornton Creek. My son learned how to work independently and in group
Posted by a parent on 10/14/2022This school is an unsafe place for Black and Brown folk. The staff has been there forever and is rejects any feedback about their white-perspective curriculum.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe spent ten years at Waldorf, and now our daughter is in high school, thriving both academically and personally. She’s excelling in her classes, loves to read and write, and continues to ask for more challenges. For anyone wondering about academics, she was more than prepared for the transition.What made the difference was the Waldorf approach: a loving community, dedicated teachers, and an education that values critical thinking, creativity, and empathy. Our daughter has grown into a resilient, capable, and confident young person who loves learning and knows how to care for both herself and others.In today’s world of AI and constant change, we need creative, critical thinkers who can adapt quickly and lead with empathy. That’s exactly what Waldorf nurtures. The transformation by 8th grade was remarkable, and the foundation continues to serve her every day. Choosing this school was the best decision we made for our family.Parent Review7mo ago - Villa Academy
