Sadly, the Susquehanna Waldorf School (SWS) is the worst run
institution that I have come across in both the public and private
sectors in the United States. Most of the teachers at SWS are wonderful
educators, but the school itself is in such disarray due to their
incompetent, uneducated administration powers that be. Furthermore, I
seriously question the safety of the building that the school is
physically housed in at present in Marietta on many levels (e.g., mold,
radon, roof stability, lead paint...). SWS has had a numerous and
significant change overs in staff and board members in the past few
years and for very just reasons. It is seriously questioned whether or
not the school will be reaccredited as a true "Waldorf" school once
again given all of these circumstances. Again, it is a most unfortunate
situation because there are many wonderful educators working at SWS...
but one cannot take a blind eye to the real problems at SWS. The bottom
line is that SWS a poor example of how a "Waldorf" school should
operate, may even be the worst.

This review is for: Waldorf School See Susquehanna Waldorf School
The
Susquehanna Waldorf School is a great experience for young children
ages 5-8. It is funny while still learning the basics of education. The
child will come to like learning and learn to respect others. However,
as the child begins to mature further it is a good idea to switch
schools as the Susquehanna Waldorf School is not that good for children
ages 10 and up as it begins to become childish for them and they begin
to dislike it.

You may ask, "where are all the 5=Star reviews?" Well, the problem with those reviews is that many tend not to be too honest. I have included 4-star reviews that appear honest. Often, gushing reviews are placed by teachers and administrators - as some comments here indicate. "This school educates the whole child!!!" - 5 stars - by Anonymous... I say baloney! Notice, many of the reviewers have been misled by Waldorf and are still buying the PR, even after having been disappointed. Feel free to comment but understand the intent of this blog.
