Introducing our 2025-26 Grade 1 Teacher

We are delighted to introduce Ms. Kim Sinclair as our first grade teacher for the 2025-26 school year!

Ms. Sinclair is our current 8th grade teacher, and has been with this class since 4th grade. She has held many positions here at PWS in addition to classroom teacher, including first grade assistant teacher and Director of Auxiliary Programs.

Kim graduated from Antioch University New England in 2018 with her Waldorf Teacher certificate and a Masters in Education. She has also received a Forest Kindergarten certification from Cedarsong on Vashon Island, WA.

Kim began her teaching journey in 1998 as a Music Together teacher and program director in Concord and Lexington, MA. She then taught Waldorf-inspired early childhood and handwork at The Living Ethics School in Fairview, TX, and introduced their first Forest Kindergarten and Waldorf-inspired events and festivals. Kim’s daughter Finley is a student at PWHS.

I love spending time with students and sharing an awe of our world. Waldorf education  fosters the development of learning through the arts, nature, music and movement and encourages a gentle unfolding that honors the beauty and goodness of childhood.
