The
Art
Exhibition Reception: May 11, 2007
The Waldorf curriculum provides a developmentally based,
multi-dimensional, integrated learning environment. In every subject, students
are engaged through visual arts, music, movement and hands-on learning as well
as story, poetry and the written word. In this way learning becomes alive,
vibrant and relevant to the child.
From the idyllic early childhood classrooms where
imaginative play, seasonal rhythms and cooperative work form the core of their
day, to the rigors of independent investigation, world history, algebra,
geometry, physical & natural sciences, foreign languages & drama of the
middle school curriculum; the aim of Waldorf education is to support the
children physically, intellectually and emotionally. Each child is appreciated
and challenged; whatever their particular strengths and weaknesses.
Neither the athlete, artist nor
the intellectual
are put upon a pedestal. Our goal is to use this holistic approach to learning
to develop balanced, multifaceted young people.
