Nursery and K are excellent. Teachers are highly experienced and skilled. They provide a truly wonderful education for young children. In grades 1-8, the teachers are inexperienced. First grade teacher is a nearly always a new hire with no experience, which affects the education of every student and creates a very poor foundation as they move through the grades. Essentially, you pay $20,000 for your child to be a "guinea pig" for a brand-new teacher, usually someone who likes the Waldorf philosophy but brings little else to the table. In addition, while Waldorf approach is very appealing in many ways, it has real drawbacks. For example, the teacher instructs the class as a whole throughout the day, meaning all the students have to go at same pace with no way to meet the needs of individuals. Even older staff who should be well qualified simply are not. The person leading educational support services, for example, completely lacks background for the job.

My children have been at Merriconeag for 12 years. It has been an extraordinary experience, not just for our children but for our family as a whole. The beauty of the education is that is gives kids a strong sense of themselves and an ability to receive information from a broad perpective. The curriculum is so rich and fluid and though the children are challenged, they are also genuinely supported as they move through the grades. The high school education at Merriconeag has been a revelation. It is a curriculum and sense of team building than no other high school can offer! Our family has also found a strong sense of community and friendship and a sense that every child and every family matters.

My children have attended Merriconeag beginning in the nursery program; our oldest child is currently enrolled in the high school. This waldorf school is a gem! From the dedicated faculty to the amazing curriculum, our children have thrived in this creative and supportive learning environment. Our family has enjoyed being part of this engaging and thoughtful community for over 10 years.
