Welcome to the parent portal! Here you will find all the necessary information, forms, events, and policies of Acorn School.
“I love that my children are learning academics in such innovative ways: gaining a deep understanding of geometry through a class building project; or fractions through baking; or an astronomy block capped off by a campout in which they take turns mapping the night sky and the constellations. It’s a magical place to be a student.”
— An Acorn School Parent
“If you want your children to be brilliant, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more brilliant, read them more fairy tales.”
— Albert Einstein
“The heart of the Waldorf method is the conviction that education is an art-it must speak to the child’s experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and will must be reached as well as his mind.”
— Rudolf Steiner
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
— Albert Einstein
“Waldorf taught me how to think for myself, to be accountable for my actions, to be a good listener, and to be sensitive to the needs of others. It also helped me to focus on the underlying importance of beliefs, and values that are the foundation of good leadership.”
– Kenneth Chenault, American Express Company Vice Chairman
“The lifelong success of children is based on their ability to be creative and to apply the lessons learned from playing.”
“The importance of playful learning for children cannot be overemphasized.”
— American Academy of Pediatrics, Excerpts from 2018 Clinical Report “The Power of Play.“
