Imagination is in the making.
The world is constantly changing. And to prepare our children for success in the unknown, we need to prepare them to thrive in unexpected situations. Linden Waldorf students are active makers—artisans of the possible and engineers of inventive solutions. Here, your child hones the ability to envision what could be and make it a reality.
