Why Waldorf Education Today?
Waldorf education’s highest aim is to support students in fully developing their unique capacities. As mainstream education continues to veer toward rote memorization and test preparedness, Waldorf education stands in stark contrast.
A Developmental Curriculum
The genius of the Waldorf curriculum is that it provides age appropriate experiences and concepts by introducing material when the students are most ready to receive and comprehend the meaning. Stories are central to this approach. The scope spans from the fairy tales and myth in the early years, to history and biography as the children develop. At the culmination of the educational journey, our 8th Graders have a narrative framework, rich in meaning, through which to vigorously take up the intellectual challenges of high school and beyond.
