[quote=Anonymous]This school has long struggled with finances and enrollment. The high school’s grade sizes are tiny (when my child was there, there was a high school graduating class that had only 7 or 8 students) and is largely populated by staff’s children. Waldorf schools are run to a large degree by the Teacher’s College rather than by administrators who are educated and experienced in operating schools or organizations. The Teacher’s College, comprised of faculty members, makes decisions by consensus. That means that significant changes happen very slowly, and, if consensus cannot be reached, not at all. When we were there, programs for younger children suffered from a lack of resources as a disproportionate amount of funding went towards running the small high school. We had high hopes for WWS but were gravely disappointed. Switching to a school with stable resources and functioning management has eased our stress. [/quote]
