Overview

Operating in the building of the former St. Peter Claver Institute since 2011, the school was founded in 2005 and currently has a preschool/kindergarten and grades 1–8. [2]

The school strives to maintain an active and mindful presence within Bedford-Stuyvesant through partnerships with local organizations, such as St. Martin de Porres/St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, and the public events the school organizes, such as Community Basketball nights and various cultural workshops, including social justice training.

The Brooklyn Waldorf School is a “developing status” member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA). [3]
