COMMUNITY SERVICE AT CWS
Giving back to the community is greatly valued at the Cincinnati Waldorf School. Students are encouraged to get involved with other organizations that positively impact their neighborhoods and the world. Community Service not only helps others in the community, it also helps CWS students—both academically and emotionally—by expanding their worldview, developing empathy and leadership skills, and realizing how their actions can have an impact and create lasting change. They also return to the classroom realizing how what they’re learning applies to the real world, which reinvigorates their passion for learning.

CWS believes community service is important and valuable for students, families, faculty, and our local community. That’s why all CWS students start formally volunteering in 9th grade, and younger students work together as a class to engage in acts of service throughout the year.
