At graduation, Kimberton Waldorf School students have an array of opportunities and choices before them. About 92 percent decide to pursue college immediately, most getting accepted to the colleges of their choice. The remaining eight percent take a “gap” year, traveling around the world and pursuing their college studies upon their return with one percent or less exploring a trade.
In addition, we are proud that, out of 1200 alumni, one is a Rhodes Scholar and seven are Fulbright Fellows, among many other distinctions.

“Kimberton helped me to develop a broad, holistic view of the world, including the ability to see and understand the connections between many parts of life. In both my studies and research at MIT, I was able to benefit from many of the principles I learned through Kimberton’s holistic approach to knowledge, exploring the connections among disciplines.”

“Waldorf education opens the student to experiences and teaches the student to understand that he or she can go out and do practically anything in the world!”

“Children need to be active and use their hands at a young age. I think Waldorf education’s approach and philosophy are exactly how children should be taught.”

“What is really valued at a school like Columbia is an interest to get to the heart of the matter, whether it be a political debate, geology, languages, literature, art history, or physics. And it is precisely this spark, this curiosity that blossomed at Kimberton. With the liberal arts curriculum and focus on understanding rather than simple memorizing, we were engaged in the ideas and problem solving – the abstract and the practical. In simplest terms, Kimberton gave me a chance to fall in love with the process of learning.”
