The Wooster Difference is rooted in our history. Founded in 1926, we have always been a place where inclusivity, diversity, and personal relationships are paramount. Today, and in the face of technology-mediated and fast-paced world, we stay focused on what really matters: fostering the personal relationships that are the bedrock of students’ self-discovery and confidence. We do this in a school culture that redefines “rigor” to be reflective of a healthy reality: an authentic balance between our achievement culture and the unique social, emotional, and intellectual needs of every one of our students. 

Wooster’s Middle School is an inclusive 5th – 8th grade experience built around personal relationships. Every child is recognized for who he is, and every child finds success and builds foundational skills and confidence for the rest of their lives. 

Wooster’s Upper School builds on the foundation of Middle School, opening students to a bigger world where they increasingly assume ownership and responsibility for their own learning. By design, our program is built around tapping into students’ and teachers’ natural interests and curiosities, creating authentic motivation for learning. 

Wooster’s Bridge Program is a fully mainstream support program for neurodivergent students in grades 5-12. This “community within a community” is flexible and serves students with language-based, executive function, and attention-related learning differences. With caring teachers who double as mentors, every student discovers how he learns best, paving the way for success in Middle and High School, and beyond.

Discover how Wooster is thinking about school differently and setting its graduates up for success in the 21st century world.

Wooster School is located at 91 Miry Brook Road, Danbury, CT.

Discover the Waldorf Difference at Housatonic Valley Waldorf School: a community conned through learning.

We are the only Waldorf Grades school in Connecticut. Our Grades 1-8 programs center on learning through experience, art, movement, and connection.
