Welcome!
We appreciate your interest in Orchard Valley Waldorf School. Whether you are just starting to explore schooling options or are ready to submit an Orchard Valley application, we are here to help.
We encourage you to explore our website for an introduction to what life is like for students and families at OVWS and for information about our admission process and our accessible tuition. We invite you to visit our PreK - Grade 8 programs on the 55 extraordinarily beautiful acres of our Grace Farm campus in East Montpelier. Personalized tours let you see the vitality, beauty, and warmth of Waldorf education in action.
“Orchard Valley creates an incredibly nurturing environment for their students. The teachers create classrooms teaming with intrinsically motivated students. My son can’t wait to go to school everyday.
The revolutionary [Tiered Tuition] program means that this school is financially accessible to all and makes for a socio-economically diverse student body.”
We look forward to meeting you and to showing you around our very special school! Please email our enrollment office directly with any questions you may have or to set up a time to tour our campus. Some of our most frequently asked questions have been answered below.
