 A Waldorf education has been called "the world's best kept education secret". Its curriculum seeks to nourish the emotions and imaginations of children as well as their intellect. The Atlantic Monthly recently highlighted the fast-growing educational movement in a feature article, "Schooling the Imagination" describing the Waldorf approach as "a unique blend of progressive and traditional methods" with imagination at its heart.  7th Grade Play -- "La Pucelle" (The Maid, Joan of Arc) (McComb Campus – Performance Hall) For Ticket Info click here

"Receive the children with reverence Educate them with love Send them forth in freedom." ~Dr. Rudolf Steiner, Founder of Waldorf Education "The Importance of storytelling, of the natural rhythms of daily life, of the evolutionary changes in the child, of art as the necessary underpinning of learning, and of the aesthetic environment of the whole - all basic to Waldorf Education for the past 70 years - are being "discovered" and verified by researchers unconnected to the Waldorf Movement." ~Paul Bayers, Professor, Columbia Teachers College |
