Tamarack Waldorf School

Students take part in hands-on education from early childhood through eighth grade, with academic subjects taught through experiential learning and integrated arts. The curriculum includes visual arts, music, theater, handcrafts, woodworking, and movement. Outdoor exploration is part of school life, including time in the surrounding area and neighborhood field trips. Lower grade classrooms, from early childhood through fifth grade, do not use computers or screens; technology is introduced in upper grades after students learn critical research methods. The school follows the Waldorf approach, combining developmentally appropriate learning with academic study and opportunities to connect with nature and community. It serves a diverse student community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just minutes from downtown.
