The Waldorf School of DuPage was founded in 1994  when a group of parents interested in Waldorf education formed a working group to launch a Waldorf school. In September of 1994, a preschool-kindergarten program was opened in Wheaton, Illinois, with a group of seven children. In 1995, we established a first grade class and subsequently added a new first grade each year, growing to eight grades in 2003 when we proudly graduated our first class. Over the years, the school has relocated several times in order to meet our growing space requirements. In 1999 we purchased our current building in Warrenville, Illinois. Located on five acres of open and wooded land, the Waldorf School of DuPage is one of four Chicago-area independent Waldorf Schools and currently the only Waldorf School serving the western suburbs of Chicago.

The mission that guides our work at the Waldorf School of DuPage is to nurture a healthy, sustainable future of whole, aware, authentic people.

Our annual gala each year brings our extended community together to celebrate our school. Our community includes enrolled families, their extended family, alumni, faculty and staff. Our contact list includes over six hundred contacts who will be marketed the event as well as our online auction which will be shared on all our social media platforms with over 5,000 followers. Companies who donate will have exposure to both our social media platforms as well as our contact list during the three day promotional period of our auction.
