During the second stage of childhood, from the
age of six or seven until around the age of 14, is a time when feelings
are of primary importance to children. Through their responses to
experience, they begin to understand the world. Our programs follow
a Waldorf curriculum and offer a full spectrum of academic subjects
that are taught not only intellectually but experientially and artistically
as well.
The children’s journey of learning and self-discovery is guided
by Waldorf-trained teachers who consider each child’s abilities
and challenges individually. The distinguishing feature of Waldorf
education is its academic and artistic depth. The subjects come
alive in an atmosphere of engaged learning where the children are
fully immersed in the subject matter finding meaning and purpose
in everything they learn. This relevancy is the key to remarkable
students and exceptional human beings.
Literacy, mathematics, science and foreign language
are supported through the integration of a rich arts program that
includes movement and circle activity, form drawing, watercolor
painting, knitting and crocheting, beeswax modeling, gardening,
cooperative games, and music to include singing, recorder, speech,
and drama. Learning experiences involve and integrate the whole
body and both hemispheres of the brain.
