We started our two kids at Bright Water 4 years ago and couldn't be happier. The school is a true community committed to balanced, thoughtful education of the child's "head, heart, and hand." I've become a huge fan of Waldorf eduation and this faculty in particular. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
