Beyond the emotional support and safety, she is enjoying the freedom to choose her learning and is excelling in her knowledge and understanding of the world! I'm forever grateful for this safe space for my daughter.

We loved Mrs. Karen, Ms. Jana and Mrs. Anne…read more They did so much for us our first couple of years in Bend. Rich, formative, so much acceptance, help and kindness. Wish we had more time with them! We still sing the praises of the learning style through play, adventures with Ted the Turtle, and the excellent memories with songs, performances, art projects, and good-byes that still make me misty-eyed! So much fun and a wholesome experience of a cohesive group. We are deeply appreciative of the humor in these 3 educators especially!

My daughter attended kindergarten and first grade here. Unfortunately, we had to move to Anchorage,…read moreAlaska for second grade. We are almost finished with the school year here, and I must say we talk about Trinity almost every day. In fact on the way to school this morning, my daughter talked the entire way about her kindergarten class and how much she loved it so! Mr. McKim is amazing with those little kids. He is fun and funny without compromising the learning environment. Somehow, he always maintains control over the class, while maintaining their respect. First grade was also an amazing year for my daughter. Mrs. Clift has such a beaming love for Christ that she radiates of joy. Just to be near her is a blessing. She loves on her class in such a way, that I truly believe directs any student in her class back to Christ. And her love for teaching is astounding! For the planetary science series, she came to class dressed up as an ALIEN from each planet! My daughter LOVED being in her class, and NEVER wanted to miss school for any reason. She would act as if I was punishing her when I had to keep her home from school when she was sick! Honestly - we knew Trinity was a good school. But we had no idea HOW BLESSED we were by the environment and teachers here. We miss it so much. And wish we could duplicate it wherever we go. Trinity, we miss you. And we wish we could come back! You instilled such a love for learning in my girl, that even though this year has been tough on her, she will always remember. Now we know what GOOD teaching REALLY is.

If you want your child to have a holistic screen free education, this is the place. There is more…read moreevidence coming out at the harm that screens are doing to children. And AI is a threat to the intelligence of children. This will be our first year at the Wadorf School of Bend. We attended two other Waldorfs previously. The teachers and staff so far have been very nice. The class sizes are small, especially from 5th grade through middle school. Your child will get one on one attention and the best holistic education possible. They are offering 50% off for middle school right now and it's a great time to get in. We tried public school for middle school and regret it. Our son is looking forward to going back to Waldorf! The tuition may seem expensive, but they do have financial assistance. And do whatever you can to get your child into here. 2nd job, skip the fancy vacations or car. Make Waldorf a priority and you will not regret it.

Ashley is exactly the kind of person you want your child's mind to be around. She gets it! I am so…read moreexcited that she is a resource available to us as my family is now living in Bend after a move from Portland! Her kids camp agenda is full of incredible and thoughtful planning and I truly believe she is going to change the world by cultivating a love of learning and self in minds of our future. From meditation and mindfulness tips and tricks, tutoring sessions from a teacher herself, and starting a love affair with food and nutrition... I kind of wish that I was a kid again so I could take part in this stuff. ;)

Ashley's cooking classes for kids are absolutely wonderful- not only do the kids learn delicious,…read morehealthy recipes, they learn so much about making healthy food choices and how to recognize strong vs weak foods in their everyday lives. I took my best friend's 8-year-old to class all summer and he loved learning kitchen techniques and sharing his creations and knowledge with us when he got home. Ashley is a wonderful, inspiring teacher dedicated to equipping kids with practical skills for making good choices- we need more people like her in this world! I would highly recommend these classes to anyone whose child is interested in food and cooking. You can be assured everything they make is healthy, easy to do at home and the classes are also accommodating to kids with allergies to gluten/dairy etc which is a huge plus.
