Established in 1993, Boulder Valley Waldorf School is a small, non-profit, private school located on a unique 38-acre campus in Niwot, Colorado. Formerly Shepherd Valley Waldorf School, the school changed the name in 2016 to better reflect the area the school serves. Offering rates well below other independent schools, families can experience a vibrant Waldorf education in a diverse community on a sustainable basis. This is thanks to a significant tuition reduction of 62%, in 2016, and a commitment to keep tuition sensible.
