Membership

The Alliance for Public Waldorf Education offers three categories or phases of membership.

Each phase has distinct characteristics, rights, and responsibilities. The categories and fees reflect the development of a school from earliest founding days to a mature, fully established school. After the Initiative stage, all members engage in an ongoing seven-year cycle of self-study and peer review. This supports their growth and development and ensures that Public Waldorf education is…ever-evolving and continuously renewed through practice, research, observation and active reflection. 

Intiatives

Groups of parents, teachers and/or interested community members considering forming a school out of their interest in Public Waldorf education. This phase lasts through the founding of a school and into its initial years of operation.
Dues: $500 until operational, then $5 per student per year.

Developing Members

Member schools that have at least three years of successful operation with enrolled students.They have undertaken an initial self-study and peer review, describing their alignment with the Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education.
Dues: $10 per student per year.

Full Members

Member schools that have matured to the point where the Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education are substantially integrated throughout the school, confirmed by a full self study and peer review. Only Full Members are eligible for the Public Waldorf service mark at this time.
Dues: $10 per student.
