Education With Purpose

What We Teach

In Grades 1-5 the curriculum expands to include academic subjects such as language arts, mathematics, sciences, history, and world languages. Additionally, Waldorf education emphasizes visual, performing and practical arts, and movement. The goal is to foster a deep love for learning and a sense of curiosity in our students. In Grades 6-8 the curriculum expands and deepens. The goal is to continue to deepen a love for learning while also increasing student confidence, skill building, and proficiency.

How We Teach

Waldorf education employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating arts and academics to engage students holistically. Teachers create lively lessons that appeal to different learning styles. Hands-on activities, storytelling, and experiential learning are integral parts of the teaching methodology. Students are guided through a comprehensive educational program that cultivates intellectual, emotional, and social development.

How We Assess

Assessment in Grades 1-5 focuses on a comprehensive understanding of each student's progress. Teachers observe and assess utilizing a combination of methods including written work, projects, and oral presentations. Documenting student work helps track growth and development over time. Regular assessments are supplemented with individual conferences and student self-assessment opportunities.

In Grades 6-8 students are evaluated based on their individual progress and growth. Teachers use a variety of assessment tools such as observation and project-based assessment to gain an understanding of each student’s strengths and areas for improvement.
