Leslie Hess's Company Details
Located in Blue Hill, Maine, the Bay School is an independent Waldorf school integrating academics and the arts from early childhood through eighth grade. Founded in 1980, thirty teachers, administrators and staff currently serve up to 120 students and their families.Central to our philosophy is a desire to honor childhood and make learning joyful. Individual achievement gives way to the quality of our students' relationships with their teachers and one another, the beauty of the space in which they work, the rhythm and form of their days – all creating the sense that everything matters and is worthy of care and consideration.The Bay School mission is to provide an education that engages and nurtures the whole child, inspiring a balanced growth of heart, mind, body and spirit. We are committed to developing in our students inner confidence, responsibility, self-motivation, a love of learning, imagination, creativity, and intellectual clarity. The educational ideals and values of the school, rooted in the Waldorf tradition, create a community of children, alumni, parents, faculty, friends, and neighbors imbued with reverence for others and the natural world.
