Under the Canopy is a nature-based public Waldorf school, offering a unique educational experience for children from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade in west Tulsa. Nestled amidst natural landscapes, the school integrates the principles of Waldorf education with an emphasis on nature immersion. The curriculum harmonizes academic learning with outdoor exploration, fostering a deep connection to the environment while nurturing each child’s creativity, imagination and holistic development.

Classrooms extend beyond the traditional four walls, with children engaging in activities such as gardening and hands-on environmental projects. Teachers, trained in Waldorf pedagogy, emphasize artistic expression, storytelling and rhythmic routines to create a warm, nurturing atmosphere. The school’s ethos centers on cultivating a sense of wonder, respect for each other and nature, and a strong community spirit. By blending academic excellence with experiential learning, Under the Canopy inspires a lifelong love of learning and a profound appreciation for the natural world.

We are now enrolling for the 2026 school year, offering pre-K–4th grade and adding 5th grade in 2027.
