SUMMARY:Financial Aid Workshop Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Live presentation and Q&A on tuition adjustment & scholarships. \nThe Denver Waldorf School (DWS) is dedicated to economic diversity and works collaboratively with its Board of Trustees\, leadership\, faculty\, administration\, and parents to raise funds\, volunteer\, and make budgetary decisions that keep tuition accessible for as many families as possible.

SUMMARY:Alumni Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the music room or online Tuesday\, February 11 at 2:30-3:30PM for a conversation with a panel of wonderful DWS Alumni who will share about their journeys post high school. \nWatch on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/94927461447?pwd=DqV7myLzys3aYnop6OgwROtjKUkQjF.1\nMeeting ID: 949 2746 1447\nPasscode: 617660 \nThe panel will feature DWS Alumni: \nMichael Coury-2007\, Jake Smith-2014\, Isabella Clark-2018\, Julia Etkin-2019 \nRead their Bio’s below  \nMichael Coury- 2007 \n I attended the Denver Waldorf School from kindergarten (Parzival Shield) to high school\, graduating high school in 2007 (almost 20 years ago\, wow!). Betsy Doyle White was my class teacher from 1st-8th grade\, and Annemarie Brown was our high school class advisor. After graduating\, I attended the University of Denver\, where I received a BA in International Studies and Russian. I stayed at DU a bit longer to earn my MA in International Studies.  \nAfter college\, I worked briefly as a criminal intelligence analyst for the Colorado Department of Safety. In 2020\, I moved to Maryland with my husband\, where I now work as the Director of Communications for Maryland’s Office of Overdose Response\, which is an office of the Maryland Department of Health. Our team works to promote collaboration between state and local agencies that implement programs related to substance use and overdose.  \nJulia Etkin- 2019 \nI attended the Denver Waldorf School from 1st grade\, in Betsy Doyle White’s class\, through 12th grade\, graduating from DWS High School in 2019. I attended Union College in upstate NY and graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Bachelor’s degree in Science\, Medicine\, and Technology with Political Science and Law in 2023. I then completed my Postgraduate Fellowship at Yale School of Medicine. I am a Dean’s Scholar at Harvard Medical School\, pursuing my Master of Science in Bioethics (MBE)\, and hold a research position at the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard.  \n“Attending the Denver Waldorf School from 1st through 12th grade cultivated my ability to think critically\, approach challenges with creativity\, and engage deeply with the interconnectedness of disciplines\, namely science and government. This foundation continues to shape how I approach my studies and research today\, as I explore the ethical and regulatory implications of drug development and healthcare delivery and policy at Harvard Medical School.” \nJake Smith- 2014 \nI graduated from the Denver Waldorf School in 2014 after attending K-12. Following graduation\, I attended Colorado State University\, where I earned a degree in Health and Exercise Science\, graduating in 2018. Following my studies\, I moved to Seattle to work as a personal trainer. While I enjoyed the role\, I found myself seeking greater challenges and opportunities for growth. To transition into a more dynamic industry\, I pursued a Master of Business Administration at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business\, while working full-time. I graduated in 2024. During this period\, I began contracting at Microsoft as a Project Manager for the Go-to-Market and Strategic Planning team. After 1.5 years in that role\, I was offered a full-time position as a Cybersecurity Sales Specialist at Microsoft\, where I have now been for over a year. \n“My time at Waldorf instilled valuable lessons that extend beyond academics—it taught me how to learn\, adapt\, and approach new challenges with curiosity and excitement.” \nIsabella Clark- 2018 \nI began at the DWS at age 4 in Woodrose Kindergarten. Mrs. Vermouth was my teacher from grades 1-8 and I graduated from the high school in 2018. After graduation\, I received an art scholarship to Southwestern University\, and spent two semesters there before opting out to run my own art business. I spent two years discovering what kind of artist I wanted to be\, starting out by painting pet portraits for friends. This was followed by many interesting projects from crosswalk murals\, to bodypainting retreats\, to logo design\, all which landed me where I am today. I have settled into being a children’s book illustrator where I get to spend my time with the medium I love: watercolor. I am currently working with three authors\, one of which I have partnered with long term\, for 13 series and 39 books of mindfulness tools for children! The first book in the first series\, called Courage finds his Calm\, is being published this coming August by Morgan James Publishing!  \n“Through teaching me to think critically\, Waldorf fostered problem-solving skills and a self-reliance within me that has made me resilient to life’s challenges and given me the strength to face anything life has thrown at me. However\, I think the very best thing Waldorf gave to me was a loving and supportive community throughout my childhood that nurtured me into becoming a healthy adult.” \nYou can find us at Awakentheone.org. \nYou can find me on instagram at @izzyssketchbook and my website at isabellaclark.com

SUMMARY:Adventures in Anthroposphic Education: A Healing Moment in Our Time- An Introduction to Eurythmy & Eurythmy Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Eurythmy comes from the Greek word meaning “Harmonious movement or rhythm” .\nWhat does it mean for our children and for us to be in “harmonious rhythm” in our\nbodies\, in ourselves\, and in relation to others\, our environment\, and world?\nTogether we will experience Eurythmy as a performance art\, and explore how we might\nfind some of its pedagogical and therapeutic benefits.\nWe look forward to having you join us! \nWith guidance from Rudolf Steiner\, Eurythmy grew out of the soil of Anthroposophy as a\nrenewed form of social movement art\, that makes visible speech and music in\nperformance\, supports healthy child development in Waldorf pedagogy\, enlivens\nindividual practice and group work. Later\, to address more acute imbalances and illnesses\nin their patients\, specialized indications for a Eurythmy Therapy were given to\nanthroposophical doctors and eurythmists. \nBride Alona McWilliam\, a Waldorf alumni\, is a graduate of\nEurythmy Spring Valley\, NY and is currently completing a Masters\nin Therapeutic Eurythmy through Alanus and Oslo Universities.\nShe recently moved to Colorado for an internship at the Denver\nCenter for Anthroposophical Therapies\, mentored by Dr. Adam\nBlanning and therapeutic eurythmist\, Glenda Monasch. In the last\nfew months of study and thesis work\, she looks forward to\ncontinuing to deepen her eurythmy therapy experience in 1:1\npractice\, group work\, and community engagement. \nContact her at bridemcw@comcast.net with any questions or if interested in individual Eurythmy therapy sessions. \nRSVP by Feb 12th \n\n

SUMMARY:Adventures in Anthroposophic Education: Born in Revolution- Education Towards Freedom in Uncertain Times
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tom Clark: \nThe Waldorf School was created in 1919 during the German revolution\, a time ofpolitical\, economic\, and social chaos. During this turbulent time\, Rudolf Steiner\ninaugurated an education toward Freedom\, Equality\, and Brotherhood\, that became\nthe Waldorf School we know today. In our turbulent times as well\, it is a challenge for\nparents and teachers to create an environment and an education in which those\nvalues can become an integral part of the lives of the students.\n\nThis presentation will offer an experience and an understanding of how in each class\,\nWaldorf teachers strive to nurture these qualities of Freedom\, Equality\, and\nSister/Brotherhood so essential for our children today. \n\n—————————————————————————————————————— \n Tom Clark has been a grade school teacher at DWS since 1985 and has taken three classes through the grades. Since 2010\, he has been teaching art and science in the high school and science classes in the middle school. Tom brings experiential learning to the students through hands-on projects and with activities bridging the worlds of art and science. He is a Waldorf teacher trainer and mentor.

SUMMARY:Adventures in Anthroposophic Education: The 9 & 12 Year Changes with Charlie Orphanides
DESCRIPTION:Around the age of nine\, the child begins to cross an important threshold\, awakening to a deeper sense of self and experiencing the world with new eyes. No longer fully merged with their surroundings\, they begin to perceive themselves as separate beings\, sometimes fearful\, sometimes critical\, as they enter their newfound individuality. \nBy twelve\, this budding self-awareness blossoms into a search for identity\, accompanied by passionate feelings and a growing interest in peers and the wider world. The heart still guides them\, but the light of independent thought begins to emerge\, seeking meaning and understanding. This is a time of great transformation\, as the child journeys from the dreamy unity of early childhood toward the unfolding of inner individuality and adolescence. \nRSVPs are closed. See you there!

SUMMARY:5th Grade Pentathlon
DESCRIPTION:Every spring in a Waldorf school\, the 5th grade class studies Greek civilization\, learning about the government\, history\, mythology and culture. As a culmination of the students’ studies\, they participate in a Pentathlon\, which is an athletic event based on the ancient Greek games. As with all aspects of our Waldorf curriculum\, the event is designed to relate directly to the students’ learning and development\, bringing relevancy and enthusiasm for their studies. Grouped into five City States- Sparta\, Athens\, Corinth\, Ithaca\, and Thebes\, the students compete in the following events: \n\nLong run\nLong jump\nDiscus\nSprint\nJavelin\nWrestling\n\nThroughout their training and also on the day of the event\, students observe the nobility\, compassion\, and uprightness of each athlete. This also provides an alternate understanding of competition to what is often displayed in our modern popular culture.\nIn preparation for the festivities\, the students also write odes to their favorite Greek goddess or god and recite their compositions to those gathered as part of the opening ceremonies. The ritual opening\, with the lighting of the torch and the offering of poems\, very much sets a beautiful tone for the day. While the children put forth their best efforts in achieving results in speed and distance\, more important is their display of grace\, beauty\, and form.

SUMMARY:Rose Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:1st\, 8th and 12th grade families are invited to the Rose Ceremony.  \nThe Rose Ceremony is always how we begin and end our years – it is an event that marks the transition from one stage of life to another. It recognises the beginning of a new journey for all of our students\, with much celebration and reflection especially for our 1st\, 8th\, and 12th graders. We begin the year with our 12th graders welcoming our 1st graders with a rose\, and we come full circle at the end of the year with our 1st graders passing along a rose to our graduating seniors. Our 8th graders guide our 1st graders during the ceremony. It is our way of celebrating the beauty and growth of our students as well as marking the passage of time and change within each student.

SUMMARY:Caregiver/Infant Class
DESCRIPTION:The first year of parenting can be one of the most beautiful\, wondrous\, and challenging times.  We can relish in the absolute miracle of our child\, and at the same time experience isolation\, physical and emotional challenges\, and adjusting to a new normal.   In caregiver/infant classes\, we will spend the morning having tea\, observing the sweet babies\, and discussing developmental phases\, nutrition and wellness\, sleep\, siblings\, and most importantly creating a supportive community together.  Simple\, seasonal crafts will be offered\, and are always optional.    This class is for birth to crawlers!  Please feel free to contact Clair Boswell at clairboswell@denverwaldorf.org with any questions.
