Unique in its inception, The Waldorf School of Garden City was founded in 1947 as a demonstration School for teacher training in the Waldorf method at Adelphi's Education Department. On eleven acres of suburban property, The Demonstration School of Adelphi College was built in seven stages from 1947 to 1958.
In 1969, an outdoor classroom for science study, The Nature Trail, was planted by students and teachers on the perimeter of the School's property. In 1971 the School's campus was expanded further when William Harrer gave his farm (Glen Brook) in Marlborough, New Hampshire, to Peter Curran (former principal of the high school), who in turn asked permission to give it to The Waldorf School for programs of study during the School year.

Because of our small school size, only a limited number of openings are available in any given year. To assess an applicant, the committee considers achievement and motivation, appraises the standards of the previous school's curriculum, and for older children, considers the time and effort that the student has dedicated to class and out-of-class activities.
