K-8 Tuition-free Waldorf Education


Our Mission:
Creative Thinkers, Engaged Citizens.
Wasatch Charter School is a K-8 tuition-free, charter school in the Salt Lake Valley guided by the principles of public Waldorf education.
Our Waldorf education model provides a comprehensive education program integrating academics, arts, movement, nature, and social responsibility into everyday learning.
Through a culture of holistic learning and dedication to the optimal development of each individual child, WCS nurtures intellectual, social and emotional, and physical capacities through an artistic, hands-on, interdisciplinary approach to core academic subjects which enables each student to blossom into an imaginative, engaged, competent, life-long learner.
Our students, teachers, faculty, and families emerge as confident, creative, strong critical thinkers and environmental stewards, empowered to act positively in their own lives and communities.
A "head, heart, hands” philosophy
Key Features of the Waldorf Model
Offers a rigorous, relevant, balanced, and memorable liberal arts education, structured around the Utah Core Standards.
Nurtures the intellect, imagination, and emotional life of each child.
Incorporates sustainable living practices, environmental stewardship, and experiential learning through outdoor experiences, animal husbandry, and gardening skills.
Infuses academics with singing, painting, movement, drawing, recorder and flutes, strings, storytelling, foreign language, speech, handwork, and drama.
Inspires children to live engaged and successful lives, prepared to meet the demands of their world.
Involves parents and families in a community of learning and self-development.
We love Waldorf kids. We reject some students with 1600s on their SATs and accept others based on other factors, like the creative ability Waldorf students demonstrate.
