About Richmond Waldorf School Richmond Waldorf School was founded in 1996 with a passion for providing children a holistic education that falls in alignment with their natural human development through hands‑on, nature‑rich, and play‑based experiences. We are dedicated to providing a learning environment that cultivates creative thinking, genuine inquiry, and a love of learning. RWS has grown from a single Kindergarten classroom to a campus that serves almost 200 students from Pre‑K through 8th grade. Our specialty program includes Movement Arts, Russian, French, Biking, Music & Strings, Handwork, Woodwork, Visual Arts, and Latin.
