Washington Waldorf School, located in Bethesda, Maryland, provides an education based on the Waldorf Steiner curriculum for students from eighteen months through twelfth grade. The curriculum integrates arts and physical movement into daily academic lessons; for example, students learn mathematical patterns through rhythmic movement and geometry through precise form drawing. In the lower school, a class teacher typically stays with the same group of students for multiple years to provide continuity. The high school features a four-year lab science sequence and specialized blocks in humanities. A distinctive feature of the school is the "Handwork" and "Practical Arts" program, where all students learn skills such as knitting, sewing, and woodworking to support cognitive and fine motor development. Facilities include specialized spaces for orchestra, a woodworking shop, and outdoor gardening areas. Students study both Spanish and German beginning in the early grades. The school operates as a co-educational day school.
