What Makes Gaia Special

At Gaia, we believe Waldorf education is a right, not a privilege. Our classrooms are a tapestry of different socio-economic backgrounds, welcoming children from all walks of life into a shared space of growth and discovery - a commitment to inclusivity that earned us the distinction of being hailed as the most diverse Waldorf school in the country.


We offer a Playgroup, Kindergarten, and a Primary School from Class 1 to Class 7.
