College of Teachers

The College of Teachers consists of those faculty members who, out of a sense of service to the students, the community, and each other, are committed to deepening their spiritual connection to Waldorf education through studying and working together. They are responsible for administering the pedagogical affairs of the school.

The College is responsible for holding the greater well-being of the school as its principal task. It is responsible for the hiring, mentoring, and evaluation of teachers, as well as ensuring the quality of the curriculum. The College typically meets weekly.

The Admissions Committee, the Care Group, and the Teacher Search Committee are under the auspices of the College. Ideally, between three to five College members serve on the Board of Trustees.
