Waldorf Schools do not use a traditional hierarchical governance structure. Asheville Waldorf School utilizes a three-fold organizational structure to delineate the primary functions of the school body, each serving a key metaphorical role in service to the whole. This structure mirrors our curriculum to inspire the whole child; Head, Heart and Hands.  The study of Rudolf Steiner’s work is a regular part of faculty meetings, board meetings and administrative training.
