May Day of Giving serves as a catalyst to raise the essential funds that sustain and enhance the unique and exceptional programs we offer. The world needs the kind of engaged, empathetic, and empowered change-makers that Hartsbrook graduates become. By donating to The Hartsbrook School, you are investing not only in our students' individual growth and potential but also in the positive impact they will have on their communities and the planet for generations to come.

This year, as we emerge from the contemplative quietude of winter and step into a season of vibrant renewal and growth, we celebrate over four decades of providing an immersive, place-based Waldorf education.

Place-based education is a powerful approach that immerses students in their local environment, culture, and community. At The Hartsbrook School, we hold a deep connection to our unique setting in the heart of Hadley, Massachusetts.

Our curriculum encourages students to explore the world around them, fostering a sense of curiosity, stewardship, and belonging. From studying local ecosystems and natural phenomena to engaging with the rich history and diverse perspectives of our community, Hartsbrook students develop a profound understanding and appreciation for their place in the world.

In a time of global uncertainty and rapid change, a Hartsbrook education has never been more vital. Our Waldorf approach is holistic and nurtures the whole child – head, heart, and hands – empowering them with the skills, knowledge, and character to become resilient, compassionate, and creative problem-solvers. By grounding their learning in the immediacy of their own experience and environment, we inspire our students to become active participants in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future.

We invite you to support The Hartsbrook School's mission.

Your donation will help us continue to provide the innovative programs, dedicated faculty, and vibrant learning community that make a Hartsbrook education truly exceptional. From maintaining the land and gardens, to investing in new educational resources and initiatives, your contribution will directly impact the lives of our students and the future they will create.

Your gift made during May Day of Giving directly supports and sustains: World Languages, Practical Arts, Agricultural Arts, Waldorf teacher training, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion resources and programming, Land Stewardship, math and science, and our sliding scale tuition model.

Thank you for considering a gift to The Hartsbrook School. Your support is deeply appreciated and will help ensure that we can continue to provide an education that integrates the whole being and prepares our students to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century with courage, creativity, and compassion.
