Went for 3 years. Liked its nature, art, & play based aspects. Left for safety concerns & learning more about the Waldorf founder Rudolf Steiner. Sites below describe his involvement with the occult, & his racist statements (karmic hierarchy of souls from black to white). While AH & Waldorf seem to reject those racist statements, we would not have chosen school founded by man who made such statements & whose teachings were so central to school's underpinnings. I am posting so other parents may research criticisms & pro Waldorf sites.
In my experience the school was not forthright with their beliefs. Several criticisms raised in sites below are consistent with my experience at AH. I was very involved volunteering at AH. Concerning aspects were very subtle and increased in the last year.
