THE WALDORF SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Expanding perspectives through deeper thoughts and experience
The computational skills they’ve gained in mathematics are infused in the physics and chemistry lessons. Students are building a foundation of critical thinking that will prepare them for success in college and beyond. In our middle school education, main Lessons are sometimes taught in blocks based on one topic and usually last three to five weeks, for two to three hours a day. Block scheduling allows teachers and students to intensively focus on a particular academic area and topic. Material is prepared in various styles, and effectively incorporate into the arts. Each day, in addition to the Main Lesson, students have classes taught by specialized subject teachers culminating in a fully-rounded education that develops the whole child. The computational skills they’ve gained in mathematics are infused in the physics and chemistry lessons.
