I'm Moving to Asheville!

[Gwynsmama]

Goody for me! I'm moving to Asheville. We're a Waldorf family. I'm wondering what mamas think about the Azalea School and the Rainbow Mountain School? How's the homeschooling community? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

I live about 2.5 hours from Asheville.  I've been interested in the Azalea School.  Hoping someone else will respond to this.

Azalea Mountain (www.azaleamountain.org) has the only grades progran based on Waldorf education. They are working on becoming certified with WECAN and AWSNA. They also have a mixed-age kindergarten. Wonderful and devoted teachers.

Other mixed-age kindergartens include Little Round Schoolhouse (www.littleroundschoolhouse.com) in East Asheville and Dandelion Hill (www.dandelionhill.org) in West Asheville. They're both wonderful programs & very popular. Call soon because the spaces are filling up quickly. They both offer summer camps, too.

They are all wonderful schools and they all work together to provide a nice, supportive Waldorf Community in Asheville.
