Merriconeag Waldorf School

The mission of Merriconeag Waldorf School is to foster in our students a sense of wonder, meaning, and compassion in their lives, so that they may freely meet their destinies.
Inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s educational insights, we teach according to a developmental curriculum that honors each child’s unfolding individuality. To this end, we strive to educate the whole human being through a balance of will-strengthening, artistic and intellectual pursuits.
Our aim is to preserve in our students a spiritual openness that will enable them to develop creative, independent thinking, an abiding love of learning, and a deep sense of responsibility toward the world.
In pursuit of our mission, we are guided by the following intentions:
To foster a sense of community which extends to the world at large in the hope that Merriconeag will serve as a center of cultural renewal.
To celebrate the beauty of Merriconeag’s natural setting so that our stewardship will inspire others to live in harmony with the environment.
To deepen our essential humanity and make Merriconeag increasingly worthy of its original Wabanaki meaning (place of careful portage).
