The Garden School of Marietta is a private primary and secondary institution rooted in Waldorf education and operating in a forest school setting in Marietta, Georgia. The school emphasizes outdoor, immersive learning across wooded areas, wetlands, and gardens, incorporating animals such as chickens, goats, and a miniature donkey to support a hands-on educational experience. Its curriculum seeks to develop the whole child through creative and artistic expression, integrated throughout daily activities and rhythms that emphasize safety, freedom, and a predictable routine. The school positions itself as a nature-oriented alternative within the private education landscape, inviting families who value holistic development, lifelong learning for students, teachers, and parents, and a diverse, inclusive community. The Garden School is based in the Atlanta metro area and operates with a relatively small local team, reflecting its intimate, community-focused approach to education.
