In our Waldorf classrooms, math lives within us - mind, body, and imagination too.

As we introduce math in our early grades, numbers are discovered through movement, rhythm, and story. We sing, jump, clap, and stomp our way into counting and patterns. We begin to see math all around us.

In middle school, practical math skills are first built through business math - giving their classroom practice real-world application. Geometry emerges through observation and beauty.

Even in our upper grades, while students move into more abstract work, math is never disconnected. Through hands-on projects, real-life puzzles, problem-solving, and artistic thinking, students learn more than just how to solve - they learn how to think.

Math is more than just numbers on a page in our K-12 curriculum - it is something we experience.

We understand that the body plays a vital role in all of our intellectual processes. You will often see that movement is integrated into our curriculum - whether it’s skip counting with specific movements, or jumping rope, or passing bean bags, movement connects our minds and bodies. So certainly before we expect our young students to sit attentively at a desk, we move! Movement keeps our students engaged and ready for a full day in developing our whole selves.

In our 7th grade Renaissance block, students don’t just learn about history - they step into it.

As with all of our curriculum, this block is intentionally designed to meet our students right where they are developmentally - full of curiosity, questioning, and awakening.

After studying the biographies of Renaissance masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, our students were tasked with choosing an invention or work of art to recreate - bringing their hands and hearts into a time where art, science, and human potential were rediscovered.

History isn’t just memorized in our Waldorf classroom. It is experienced through creativity, artistic expression, and deep engagement.

Can you tell what our 5th graders are making? As part of their studies of North American geography, they gladly got their hands messy to create this giant map! Art is integrated into all areas of our curriculum to bring learning to life. Our students learn not only through their intellect, but also with their hearts and their hands. Creativity, joy, and experience all make for a meaningful lesson, and moreover a love for learning.

The first evening of Senior Project Presentations is in the books! What an incredible showcase of dedication, creativity, and innovation thanks to our Class of 2026. Be sure to join us again tonight at 5pm for round two!

The Senior Project is an opportunity for our students to pursue a new area of interest or something that will stretch their abilities- intellectually, physically and/or emotionally. After many, many months of hard work and determination, they each present their journey to the community - sharing their challenges, new learnings, and growth. With topics ranging from upcycling clothing, to stained glass, to becoming a polyglot, to designing a myoelectric prosthetic arm, it is always awe-inspiring to hear how they each persevere, push themselves to new limits, and find their way with patience and persistence. May we all remember to journey as they do with open hearts!

Many thanks to our high school faculty and community mentors for their unwavering support in guiding our seniors to complete these outstanding projects.

Senior Project presentations are almost here (starting TONIGHT!) — and are not to be missed. As a K-12 Waldorf school, our seniors are not only a product of this education, they are a part of it. They are a model for all students following in their footsteps, and this senior class has consistently proven themselves as humans worthy of imitation.

They’ve embodied collegiality and heart through sport, and lifted spirits through their voices and presence on stage. They’ve brought wonder and awe in their interpretation of saints, kings, and princesses during festivals, field days, and joyful classroom celebrations. They’ve teamed up and gifted to others through baking, crafting, and merchantry. They’ve skillfully expressed themselves — fiercely and vulnerably — through the art they’ve produced with their hands and spoken in words. They demonstrate, for us all, the joy that’s achievable when you access your will and your community — when you are capable and never truly alone.

These are humans worth knowing; humans who change those who do. As much as they will be missed (which is a lot), if this is how they show up as high schoolers — on the court, in a festival hall, in classrooms and hallways — one can only feel excitement about how they will show up out in the world.

Now is our time to show up for them now…while also treating ourselves to the fruits of the culmination of this education in a 12th grader and giving us a taste of the gift that their humanity is in this world.

Both nights will be incredible! (as quoted by Meeri Baldwin, who is intimately aware what is in store)

What a joy it is to see the enthusiasm and love for circus arts! Congratulations to all of our performers in today’s Circus Club performance. And while we of course marvel at the aerial stunts, juggling on the rolling globe, and mastery of the unicycle, we know that the performance is not the sole focus of their practice. Rather, it is the gained confidence, trust in others, perseverance, courage, and of course FUN in movement that is the heart of our circus! 🎪

The push to return to pen and paper may be growing- but this has always been a mainstay in our Waldorf curriculum. While you won’t find Chromebooks in our elementary classrooms, you will find pencil and paper. You will find beauty in the word. You will find conduits of creativity. So yes, while Waldorf schools prioritize the exercise of handwriting, art, and bringing a page to life for the many cognitive and developmental benefits, we also practice it to nurture the soul of our holistic learning.
