Parent Reviews
Our son started at Malamalama Waldorf School in 5th grade after attending Waldorf schools in two other countries, and the transition was very smooth. From the very first day, he was welcomed warmly by both the teachers and the students. One of the things we appreciate most is the consistency of the Waldorf approach. It gave him a solid sense of continuity in his education. The rhythm flowed naturally from his previous school, and the values of creativity, respect, and connection have remained constant throughout his journey. We also love the depth of family involvement in the school. It creates a true sense of community and instills a spirit of volunteerism and service that we hope he carries with him. We feel so grateful that he’s part of Malamalama and couldn’t ask for a better place for him to continue his Waldorf education. Highly recommend!
