River Valley Waldorf School Tour
Wednesday, Oct 24

We encourage you to learn more about what a Waldorf primary school education looks like. Less than two hours from Manhattan, the River Valley Waldorf School in Upper Black Eddy, PA is a great place to start.

Here's your chance to see, to feel and to ask questions about grades 1-8. For informal advice, call Nina Kaufelt (mother of Jacob & Rose) at 646-285-8541. Nina's three children have gone to River Valley summer camp for three years. If you want to save a call, know that Nina will urge you to take the field trip! And if you're thinking of ditching NYC and moving to a beautiful colonial region, River Valley - a fully-equipped school with a 9-acre campus - is accepting children ages K-8. To register for the tour, call 610-982-5606 or email Renee Goodyear at reneervwschool@gmail.com.
