About Tamarack
Tamarack was founded in 1996 as a member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA).
Enrollment is over 195 children, age three through 8th grade.
Milwaukee Parental Choice Program enables the school to attract students from many socio-economic levels and many neighborhoods. Children come from City of Milwaukee neighborhoods, as well as Bayside, Menomonee Falls, Oak Creek, Racine, River Hills, Shorewood, Waukesha, Wauwatosa, West Allis and Whitefish Bay. Tamarack is also racially and culturally diverse.
Tamarack is a self-run, non-profit private school. The Board of Trustees is comprised of parents, community volunteers and faculty. The board oversees the legal and financial aspects of the school. The pedagogy and curriculum are overseen by the faculty, who work by consensus (there is no principal or headmaster). Parents are encouraged to participate in TPA-CC, Tamarack's parent association.
Seasonal festivals bring the Tamarack School community together. Although Tamarack is a non-sectarian school, students can participate in volleyball, basketball and softball teams organized through the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese.
Before and After School Care is available from 7:30-8:15 AM and 3:15-5:30 PM.
