Not true at our local Waldorf school. We really appreciate the low-tech school pedagogy for our child, but we embrace technology at home.


Android tablet?

I mean, how binding is this contract?!! What you do on your family’s private time is none of their beeswax.

Christ Episcopal School - this combined with lots of outdoor and out of the classroom time.

The WiFi at maret barely works so that’s pretty low tech by default.

Not so. There are still a lot of misconceptions about Waldorf education. The kids don’t wear characters or name brands on clothes, but that isn’t much different than a school uniform. We’ve signed no contracts limiting our family’s activities outside of school and the kids still talk about all kinds of normal modern-day things (tv shows, sports, etc).

No computers at Dominion Christian's lower school.

Generally, I would expect this to be true at most of the small Christian privates & larger Catholic ones. Those of a classical bent are guaranteed minimal tech.
