Faculty & Staff

The faculty work out of an understanding of the developmental stages of the children in their care. This creates a learning environment in which the children are totally engaged and learning happens easily.

Mulberry’s Mission is:

Mulberry Waldorf School endeavors to awaken and nurture

a reverence for life,

a sensitivity to beauty,

and a love of learning in each child.

We educate the whole child, their head, heart and hands,

Through an integrated academic, artistic,

And movement-based curriculum.

Waldorf education nourishes children,

parents and the community.

As part of an international educational association,

our school fosters freedom in thinking,

healthy emotional development,

and the compassion and imagination

to transform the world.

A Brief History

Mulberry Waldorf School began as a Waldorf Initiative playgroup in 1993. In 1995, we were incorporated as a not-for-profit charitable organization, and in 1996 we moved to the former Glenburnie West School. A few years later, in 1999, we arranged to lease our current home - the former St. John’s Catholic School on Markland Street in downtown Kingston. Over the next 7 years, we grew and stabilized our pedagogical and administrative foundations and being downtown provided us the ability to expand enrolment as well as be part of a lively and culturally-supportive neighbourhood. Our lead class graduated in 2008 and in the same year, the school attained Developing School Status within AWSNA. After a five-year search to find a permanent home, the school negotiated the purchase of our present school building in 2009. Our present goals include Depaving our Yard, and expanding the Early Childhood Program to feed our Grade School.
