“THE (WALDORF) SCHOOL WILL HAVE ITS OWN ADMINISTRATION RUN ON A REPUBLICAN BASIS AND WILL NOT BE ADMINISTERED FROM ABOVE. WE MUST NOT LEAN BACK AND REST SECURELY ON THE ORDERS OF A HEADMASTER; WE MUST BE A REPUBLIC OF TEACHERS AND KINDLE IN OURSELVES THE STRENGTH THAT WILL ENABLE US TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH FULL RESPONSIBILITY. EACH ONE OF YOU, AS AN INDIVIDUAL, HAS TO BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE.”

- Rudolf Steiner

The Board of Trustees is financially and legally responsible for the school. The Board is also the school’s link to the community and sets the strategic direction of the school. Board members come from our school community, our faculty, and from the community at large, bringing diverse competencies to serve the organization.
