Life Skills


The power of concentration. Attention to detail. Counting stitches. Correcting mistakes. Perseverance. Pride. Waldorf Education has long known the vast value of knitting. And yet, it seems, what we needed to get the rest of the country on board with this enormously important Hand Craft, is a global pandemic and the subsequent endorsement from our former First Lady. Whatever the reason, we are here for it.

Spring at Waldorf

Spring Festival

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Roald Dahl


Spring has arrived and with it all the bubbling joy of warmer days and new growth. It is a time of exuberance, renewed energy, and, yes, even a bit of magic.

Nature Studies

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. Albert Einstein


Rocks which can write on other rocks. Cracks in seemingly impenetrable boulders. Emerald green moss thriving in an otherwise sleeping forest.

These were just a few of the keen observations which ignited imaginations and incited exciting discussions among WSB's grade one students, seen here, on their weekly nature walk this week.

Joy and Power

These past few weeks we have been delighted to share in the joy and power of African drumming and culture. Grades 4-8 have been on an exciting intercultural journey with Mr. Oula, an African drum and dance master who has been sharing his passion through teaching for over 30 years. Originally from the Ivory Coast, Mr. Oula incorporates a oral tradition teaching style which includes drumming, cultural background information, and dance.

Joyful education at its best.

First Snowfall

"Nature is full of genius, full of divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand." — Henry David Thoreau

Snow, glorious snow! One of the joys of witnessing Waldorf's youngest students learn and grow in our nature-immersed Children's Garden is their reactions to the unique gifts presented by each fleeting season. At turns, awe-filled wonder, at others gleeful excitement, and in each sheer delight.

Joyful Work

The Children's Garden was, as ever, hard at work this week.

In a Waldorf Early Childhood classroom, teachers participate with enthusiasm in the kind of purposeful work children can innately understand and naturally wish to imitate.
