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.
