Waldorf Academy

Teaching Philosophy

Our classes involve active learning with singing, movement and reciting poems woven into the daily rhythm of each class. This enriches learning and personal growth as these activities engage students on multiple levels—emotionally, intellectually, and physically—while fostering a sense of community and harmony. As with all Waldorf schools, Waldorf Academy minimizes the use of technology to allow children to engage more deeply with their learning experiences and the world around them. In a low-technology environment, students develop critical thinking, creativity, and interpersonal skills through hands-on activities, artistic expression, and real-world problem-solving. We give our students the time and space to develop a strong sense of self, helping them build meaningful connections with their peers and teachers. By prioritizing human interaction and experiential learning to the world around us, Waldorf Academy nurtures our students' innate curiosity and helps them develop a strong foundation to take ownership of their learning.
