Curriculum planning
|
As a Waldorf school, we offer a developmentally appropriate, experiential, and academically rigorous approach to education. We integrate the arts in all academic disciplines for children from preschool and up to enhance and enrich learning. At the kindergarten stage, Waldorf education's emphasis is on the holistic development of students' physical and mental wellbeing; formal academic learning begins only at grade 1. Waldorf education aims to inspire life-long learning in all students and to enable them to fully develop their unique capacities.
