“May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide your way on.”

We know that our brave golden knights (the oldest children in our kindergarten, now rising first graders!) are ready to do what is good and right! We celebrated this morning with a cherished ceremony to honor their wonderful growth and our shared journey together. With song, story, reflection, and many watering eyes, we savored these moments with full hearts as they crossed the bridge to the world beyond our early childhood classrooms! Golden knights, we’re ready for you to lead the way with your light 🌟

Before we break for summer, our rising 3rd graders worked their hands and hearts to bring our school garden to life! They planted tomatoes, onions, corn, beans, squash, and more. Over the summer, along with their families and the help of our community, they will lovingly tend and water the garden. When we return in the fall, the students will continue this work as part of their farming block - and get to experience the joy of the harvest season and the fruits of their labor!

Connecting to the natural world around us is an integral part of our curriculum and culture. We celebrate the seasons. We foster a sense of wonder and reverence for the earth and its many gifts. We stay curious and cultivate care. We believe that our work and commitment together can make a difference! 🌿

This morning our graduating seniors took their “Walk Through the Grades” - a tradition that carries them back through the full arc of their Waldorf journey. The seniors visited each grades classroom and were presented with a small remembrance from their younger days in our community - whether it be a song, morning verse, recorder melody, poem, or nostalgic pillar of our curriculum.

Through the watering eyes, warm embraces, and laughter shared- the morning was a reflection of how deeply this journey lives within each of our students. We are holding onto their presence as we near their graduation at the end of this week!

May our graduating Class of 2026 cherish the many lessons through their days at DWS as they embark on their journey into the world that awaits 🌟.

The DWS Class of 2026 continues to impress us as they commit to colleges and prepare for the next chapter of their journeys. Together, these 18 students have earned an incredible $7,769,240 in merit scholarships for college- an average of about $430,000 per student- a remarkable reflection of years of dedication, creativity, and hard work.

The Denver Waldorf School has proudly maintained a 100% college acceptance rate, and year after year admissions offices share how excited they are to see a Waldorf application come across their desk. Our students stand out as thoughtful contributors, collaborative classmates, courageous learners, and creative problem solvers- prepared not only for college, but for meaningful and purposeful lives beyond it. We are deeply proud of the Class of 2026 and grateful to celebrate both their individual achievements and the community that helped nurture them along the way. Congratulations, seniors- you inspire all of us. We can’t wait to soak in these last few days with you back on campus this week!

In our 2nd grade language arts block, students don’t just learn about nouns, verbs, adjectives and sentence structure. Through stories of heroes and golden-hearted people, they also deepened their understanding of what it means to be a helper in the world. After writing about and illustrating their own personal hero, students shared their stories with classmates and even celebrated together at a special lunch with the heroes themselves.

Our hope is that the children leave this block not only with new writing skills, but also with a sense of security, connection, and trust in the goodness around them - nurturing both academic growth and emotional development together. Moreover, may they always carry the understanding that each of us can be a hero in someone else’s life!

When the rest of the high school is away, the 11th graders play.

To elevate the mood of the rainy Monday blues, the 11th graders turned their history of music class into a spontaneous jam session- rocking out to “Feeling Good” while the rest of the high school grades are away on field trips. In our Waldorf education, lessons come to life in every way imaginable- experiential learning sometimes looks like putting the books down and picking the instruments up. Today’s lesson is a good reminder that education is most memorable when students can make it their own 🎶.

A peek into our annual 5th Grade Pentathlon - a day full of fun, nobility, camaraderie, and community. While our students put forth great effort in achieving results in strength and speed, more important is their display of grace and form, striving not only for their individual self or city-state but for the good of all! After an opening ceremony complete with recitation of odes to gods, song, and eurythmy, they compete in the long run, discus, sprint, wrestling, long jump, and javelin!

Each year, the 5th grade studies Greek civilization, learning about the government, history, mythology, and culture. As a culmination of their studies, each spring the students participate in a Pentathlon, which is an athletic event based on the Ancient Greek games. As with all aspects of our curriculum, the event is designed to relate directly to the students’ learning and development, bringing relevancy and enthusiasm for their studies. It is always wonderful to see all the new friendships forming and the many displays of grace throughout the day. Thanks to @shiningmountainwaldorf @bouldervalleywaldorfschool @waldorfschoolontheroaringfork @northforkschool and the Wildflower Project Group for joining the games this year!
