This private school has been in our area for almost 25 years,and is part of the international Waldorf School Movement, which approaches learning from a perspective of bringing the right curriculum for the children's developmental stage. The academics are rigorous and brought in such a way that they are integrated with the arts, thus allowing all aspects of the child to become active: head, heart and hands. A lesson in geography for example will be accompanied by creating maps of the area under investigation, learning songs and dances of that locality. Music, woodwork, handwork, painting, drawing, sketching as well as a vigorous movement curriculum insure the healthy development of the children, providing them with a strong foundation not just for a flourishing intellect, but also for a strong moral integrity and dedication to service. It is an excellent school that I have had the honor of being part of over the past 12 years as a teacher. Both of my children attended there and are now self confident on the road to adulthood.
