We are grateful for those parents who chose to include testimonials for our website with their answers to our end-of-year survey this past summer. We highlight a selection of them here:
“Madrona School's approach to nurture our children's love of learning has been deeply moving. We appreciate how the school weaves the emerging scientific understanding of child's psychoneuro-developmental process along with the wisdom of Waldorf education. The school's ability to hold open and growing spaces for new information and the lived knowledge of the past to coexist has been important. Such a discerning and non-judging attitude the school embodies, we hope our children will continue to learn to practice to become who they are as unique individuals and as vital members of a meaningful community.” —Sierra, mother to two students
“The first week of school, my daughter said: ‘Mom , I wish school lasted until 5 pm’. The last month of school, she told me: ‘Mom, I wish school did not end so soon’.” —Mom of a 7th grade student
“This school brings so much joy to our child's life which in turn makes our lives so much richer. The wholesomeness and care each teacher puts into their students is in invaluable.” —parent to a kindergarten student
“Madrona is a gift to our children and the whole community! Keep up the great work! I tell everyone I come in contact about the school and what it has meant to our lives and our daughters! I have watched [them both] change dramatically since becoming part of the Madrona community. They entered unhappy and with a lack of confidence. Now I am in awe of how confident, happy and well rounded my daughters are! I for one will never be able to thank you enough for what your wonderful school has given them.” —Dad of two students
“My child’s teacher is ALWAYS prepared. Every week, everyday. She is amazing.” — from a parent of a rising 6th grader
“Rooted in the reliable insights of Waldorf and renewed by the inspired, loving presence of its teachers, Madrona School has been a wonderful blessing to our family. I'm very grateful.” -- parent of two students
