"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your roadmap through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.” John Gatto



"Play is the highest form of research."
~ Albert Einstein


Language Arts/ Social Studies Program (Mon/Wed)


The Language Arts program emphasizes high quality literature through story-telling, reading aloud, drama, creative writing and poetry. The central goal of the program is to have children emerge as avid readers who find joy in literature, and as skilled writers who can express themselves authentically and creatively. Waldorf's beautiful fairy tales and art are also implemented to bring literature and writing to life.


Social Studies: Students study geography and diverse cultures from around the world through cultural stories, making art and cooking. As the students get older, they learn about US History and Government through living history and hands on projects. They also study Economics and every Spring we hold a Marketplace event for the children to create and set up their own businesses.
