History

In their experience as educators, the directors and co-founders of Tara recognized that many students were motivated and inspired by the performing arts. They also noticed that working within a schedule which concentrates on dramatic or choral work at specific times seemed to strengthen and enliven the students’ academic studies all year.

Initially established in 1994 as an after-school performing arts program, Tara has grown into a vibrant educational community of approximately 50 students, their families and the school’s staff. We celebrated our first graduating class in 2001. Tara is a member of the Association of Waldorf Schools in North America.
