WSL Spring Auction

CELEBRATE WITH US THIS SPRING!

Each Spring, the Waldorf School of Louisville community comes together to celebrate the extraordinary creativity of our children while also raising vital funds for our school with a festive event and silent auction, featuring collaborative student artwork, in addition to experiences/items donated from local businesses and WSL community members.

Dedicated to providing its families with a transformative educational experience, WSL is also committed to fostering socioeconomic diversity within our community.  

As we reflect on the importance of our largest community fundraising event, we are reminded of our commitment to growing our Variable Tuition program which helps to ensure that a Waldorf Education is made more accessible and equitable to families who value our mission and unique approach to education, regardless of their financial circumstances.

In alignment with this initiative, we are proud to announce that all proceeds from the 2022 WSL Spring Auction, Bluegrass, Blue Jeans, & BBQ, will go directly towards the WSL Variable Tuition program.
