A door is more than an entrance—it is a meaningful pause. In that brief moment, we breathe in courage and leave the world behind, stepping into a space of warmth, stillness, and meaningful connection with all that awaits inside.

We are asking you to help open the door for the children in Eastern Idaho to be able to receive and participate in an incredible and rich Waldorf educational experience. All donations will go to:

$80,000 will go to the down payment and the remodeling needed to make a small beautiful school campus. Our farm-to-table program is a core part of the school and this will help create garden and animal areas to make this a reality. Just like our curriculum, our classrooms are meant to bring life and joy to learning and this will help furnish the rooms to be that magical place for students.
$40,000 will create a reserve for salaries, benefits, and training for the amazing Waldorf trained teachers and staff that will be teaching at the school. Our teachers are at the center of bringing Waldorf education to life and this reserve is to ensure we care for the teachers as they care for the kids.
$20,000 will provide for the needed administration and marketing costs. As Waldorf education is new to Eastern Idaho there is a lot to do to spread the word and educate the community on the value this approach will bring to their children. This fund will help us spread the word at community events, through digital and print media, and other avenues to find those for whom this is the right educational fit.
$10,000 will help create our drama, art, music, cooking and fiber arts classes by purchasing the needed qualities supplies like stands, costumes, natural yarns and fabric, sewing machines, stove, dishes, and more.

A Century of Wisdom. A World of Possibility.

For over 100 years, Waldorf education has crossed borders and transformed lives. With 1,100+ schools in 80 countries, this unique pedagogy does more than just teach—it honors the whole child-their stages of development and engages their mind, body, and soul, preparing them to meet the future with courage.

This movement is powered by people like you. Whether your gift is large or small, you are not just donating; you’re investing in a more conscious, compassionate world. Join us in Opening the Door to a world of possibilities.

Your fellow door opener,

Rachael
