Three Cedars School Tour

The best way to see Waldorf education in action is to take this wonderful school tour. Unlike other area Waldorf School tours, the Three Cedars School tour takes you into the classrooms to see Waldorf education in practice. The executive director leads this tour tailored to the visiting group - all questions are answered in a comfortable setting. Please call the Three Cedars School office today to reserve your space for this or any upcoming school tour. Parent-Tot at The Parsonage strongly encourages all of our group members to make time for this tour to better understand Waldorf education and to better support our work at The Parsonage.
