Admissions

Admission Tours

During the school year, Admissions Tours are held by appointment at our Niu Valley Campus for our Preschool through Grade 8 program.

These tours provide parents and family members with an overview of Waldorf education and philosophies and an opportunity to view the classrooms and facilities.

For further information about the Honolulu Waldorf School, please fill out our online Admission Inquiry Form.

Admission Policy:

HWS aims to accept a wide range of students into the school who desire the values and benefits of a Waldorf education. We welcome and include families from diverse social, economic, and cultural backgrounds.

Although the school year begins in August, we welcome new students into our classes throughout the year, as space permits.
