Program details

The Waldorf Elementary School curriculum is designed to both stimulate and support the developing child. The subject studies during the Main Lesson in the morning are often woven into artistic activities later in the day. The challenges of handwork, music, and the fine arts are not separated from the academic subjects, but are presented as vital parts of a complete education. Grade school children benefit from the same class teacher for many years.
