[7] In 1913, the school decided to develop an eastern branch campus to serve students on the city's east side.

[7] This site in Indian Village along Charlevoix was chosen, and the school again contracted Albert Kahn to design a new building.

In 1964, construction began on a new school, and in early 1965, Liggett moved from the Indian Village campus to Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan.

[13] Other private schools in the area at the time were not integrated, and the Wilhelms and their supporters sought to provide a diverse educational experience to children.

In 2011, the school was selected by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of 100 "places that matter" in the United States.

The Detroit Waldorf School Early Childhood Center includes Pre-K classes for children 3-5 and full-day Kindergarten.

The focus in the Early Childhood Center is on language and stories in circle/story time, and on indoor and outdoor creative free play.

Children in the Early Childhood Center experience movement in play, including skipping, jumping rope, and eurythmy.

[18] Beginning in elementary school, the core academic subjects (language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies) are presented in a two-hour main lesson each day.

[19] In addition to the core academic subjects, students also learn two foreign languages (Spanish and German),[20] as well as music, movement, arts, and handwork.

The school aims to not only educate students, but also to prepare them to be creative, critical thinkers with individual initiative.

[20][21][23] Mathematics starts with basic arithmetic and the introduction to numbers, and continues with multiplication, division, fractions, exponents, and roots.

The upper grades begin studying business math, pre-algebra, and algebra, including graphing equations.

As students progress, more sophisticated painting and drawing is introduced, as well as carving, pottery, sculpture, cross-stitch, sewing, carpentry, and woodworking.

2015/2016 offerings include basketball, track, soccer, tennis, volleyball, circus arts, kinderharp, guitar, brain games, and chess.
