Wellness & Support
We nurture not just thinkers, but thoughtful people—curious, courageous, and kind.
At Maine Coast Waldorf School, we recognize that true learning and growth happen when students feel supported in mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach to student wellness encompasses emotional care, academic support, nourishing meals, and joyful movement—creating an environment where students flourish.
Student support
Our high school includes a dedicated School Counselor and an Educational Support Specialist, both of whom are readily available to guide and assist students as they navigate the academic and personal challenges of adolescence. These professionals help ensure that every student feels seen, heard, and supported.
movement
Movement is integrated into the rhythm of the school week through a variety of physical education offerings—including games, dance, and yoga—that support physical health, coordination, and a sense of inner balance.
Our campus offers 75 acres of fields, woods, and trails, providing frequent opportunities for outdoor learning and all-season recreation. Whether skiing our groomed trails, conducting scientific fieldwork in the forest, or finding artistic inspiration in our gardens, classes regularly immerse themselves in our landscape.
cafe life
Just across from the high school, our Community Hall is home to a vibrant kitchen and café, where students gather daily for nourishing, thoughtfully prepared meals. Led by an award-winning chef, the café features vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options and highlights locally sourced ingredients—many grown or raised by families in our school community.
More than just a place to eat, the café is a warm and welcoming hub where students, faculty, and visitors connect over food, conversation, and creativity. It regularly transforms into a stage for student-led performances, poetry readings, and musical showcases.
"My journey with the Waldorf philosophy has shown me how to live and act slowly, and when I do I'm happier for it. We don't have to get caught up in striving to be busy, and instead focus on what's in front of us and those who are around us." –Alum
