Waldorf School of New Orleans | Early Childhood Curriculum

Amazing Grades

Experiential learning is a way of life in Waldorf Education.

Real skills in a digital world mean finding meaningful ways of connecting with students. That's why the arts, academics, and hands-on learning are interwoven into our curriculum.

Math

Hands-on is the way people learn best, and so it's the way we teach. Many of our students begin High School having moved beyond Algebra I.

Science

Our science curriculum covers Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and more, through interactive experiments.

Language Arts

From cursive handwriting to creative writing, Waldorf students master writing from simple grammar to essays, short stories, and beyond.

Handwork

Knitting, sewing, embroidery, cross stitch, and more encourage a creative perspective in all things.

Music

In First Grade our students begin music study by playing the recorder and move on to stringed instruments in 4th Grade.

Drama

Storytelling is an integral part of Waldorf Education. Our students hear stories daily in the classroom and have the opportunity to tell their own through their annual Class Play.

Reading

Our approach makes for eager readers who embrace reading for a lifetime.

Library

The Lesley Rubenstein Library is a crown jewel of our school, an impressive collection of thousands of books.

Spanish

Spanish instruction begins in our Kindergarten with games and songs and moves steadily into speaking and writing.

Geography

Our students learn to navigate the world starting with a map of their own homes and broadening their horizons over time.

History

From World History to U.S. History, from Ancient Greece to Current events, our curriculum aims to be inclusive.

Movement & Games

Waldorf Education's answer to P.E. goes beyond traditional sports to include cooperative games in the younger grades.

Visual Arts

Our students learn techniques from professional artists and work with wet-on-wet watercolor, pastels, and pencil.

Milestones

Waldorf students around the world celebrate milestones from a Farm Trip to a regional Greek Pentathlon.
