We didn't partner with a Waldorf school, but after we moved in a bunch of
the parents got together and formed a Waldorf based homeschool cooperative.
It's only been in existence for a year, but so far the school seems to be a
huge success for the kids and parents.

I think the fact that we live in community together made the school
possible.  We know how to make decisions and resolve conflicts with each
other (well at least somewhat  ;-) and we have great shared facilities
available (craft room in the common house and a yurt).
