Island Waldorf School (IWS) offers a distinct alternative to mainstream education in Hong Kong, providing the territory’s first non-profit, bilingual Waldorf curriculum for children from Kindergarten through Grade 8. Located across two urban campuses on Hong Kong Island, with a dedicated Outdoor Activities Centre on Lamma Island, the school integrates intellectual, artistic, and practical learning. The curriculum is delivered through Main Lessons where a Class Teacher stays with the same group of students for multiple years, fostering deep mentorship.
