Scholarships

The Waldo School is incredibly excited to give back to our Jersey City community by offering scholarships for students in 5^th, 6^th and 8^th Grades! The Waldo School is a private school offering grades preschool through 8^th Grade, located in downtown Jersey City. The school is an accredited International Baccalaureate World School, offering the Primary Years Program. As an IB World School, our mission is to develop students who respect and care for others, who understand both the differences and the commonalities among people all around the world, and are committed to creating a better and more peaceful world. To reach this goal, The Waldo School provides each student with opportunities to learn in an academically enriching program that believes in hands-on, experiential learning. In addition to the core subjects, students also participate in enrichment classes, such as robotics and programming, drama and public speaking, fine arts, physical education, and Spanish as a foreign language. Every child is supported through individualized attention and a strong focus on social and emotional well-being.
