Exploring, Creating, and Celebrating Together
An education at Swallowtail Waldorf School & Farm is an enriching journey that begins in early childhood and culminates in the 8th grade. The arts are integrated in all academic disciplines, to enhance and deepen learning. In addition to its main campus in Cornelius, Swallowtail has a 26-acre Farm campus in nearby Hillsboro. There, social and environmental science lessons unfold, and the community gathers for celebrations throughout the school year.
