“Tamarack Waldorf School provides an excellent environment for our three children to grow into their creativity and free-spiritedness. Each of our children is thriving in school because Waldorf education allows them to use their hands and minds in practical ways while being nourished by the natural world.”
Dear Tamarack Community,
This summer, I had the privilege of teaching at a private high school's summer bridge program for incoming freshmen. Each day, the teachers would gather to share stories about their students. One student caught our attention for his brightness, thoughtfulness, and respectful personal engagement.
Imagine my surprise when his teacher discovered that this student had attended Tamarack! This is not an uncommon story. Waldorf students stand out because they’ve been nurtured in an environment that values human connection, creativity, and a deep respect for others.
We rely on your support to continue investing in our children’s bright futures. Tuition covers only a portion of the actual cost of educating each student at Tamarack. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal of providing a nurturing and transformative education for all.
Here is a list of frequent expenses at our school:
Set of knitting needles - $5
Main lesson books for a student for a year - $20
Box of beeswax for a class for a year - $116
Class field trip to the Urban Ecology Center - $260
Cultural assembly - $300 - $1,000
We invite you to be a part of our mission! Your donation, whether large or small, will make a significant impact. To contribute, use the donation form below.
Your generosity and commitment make Tamarack such a special place. Let’s build a bright future together!
With heartfelt appreciation,
Maggie Herbst
