We See Your Child Like No One Else

Find the place where your child is truly known. Where they're free to become their best self, not a version shaped by test scores or trends. Where they build the skills, curiosity, and confidence that carry them well beyond eighth grade.

For families in Eliot, Maine, and across the greater Seacoast, including Portsmouth, Kittery, York, Dover, and The Berwicks, that place is Seacoast Waldorf School. We're a private school offering Waldorf education from Early Childhood through Grade 8, where children are known by name, challenged at their own pace, and given real room to grow.

Here, your child will be welcomed as they are. They'll spend time outdoors every day, build friendships that last, and learn through a hands-on, nature-based approach that makes room for both rigor and wonder.

It's an education that stays with them, long after they leave us for what's next.

Early Childhood

The Seacoast Waldorf School Early Childhood Program is structured to provide a gradual transition from the life of the home to the structure of an elementary school. We consider childhood to be an important and foundational experience—not a time to be rushed. Our Early Childhood Programs include programs for parents and infants through preschool, pre-K and Kindergarten.

Seacoast Waldorf School’s elementary school program serves children in a caring, supportive environment that strives for the balanced development of a child’s abilities. Academic excellence is achieved through artistic integration; experiential multi-day trips; creative, hands-on learning; development of curiosity and an introduction to critical thinking.

Middle School

The teacher is an older woman with glasses on her head, wearing a purple fleece jacket, and the student is a young man with light brown hair and a red shirt. A blackboard in the background has some writing, and there are various objects including a framed picture, a tumbler, and a large plant nearby.

In the middle school years, students are guided through an exceptional integrated curriculum of math, science, humanities, world languages, movement, and the arts.

At Seacoast Waldorf School, teenagers are shown the value of strong human connections and powerful artistic expressions as they craft their own sense of self-identity.
