4th Grade

“Is there a way to educate children that will help them develop into human beings capable of bringing peace to the world?”

More than 100 years after Rudolf Steiner dared to dream of a world healed by the innate goodness of children, Waldorf Education is a thriving global movement, deeply committed to the founding purpose of helping children become creative, independent, moral individuals who seek to do meaningful work with their lives. 

The students of our 4th grade will learn about local Kentucky History and geography, as well as an overall theme of studying the myths of Norse Mythology, as they seek examples of universal stories of cunning tricksters, clever heroes and major cultural shifts, as they prepare for the eventual end of the childhood, and prepare to step fully into adolescence. Map making and zoology are major themes this year, as the children seek to understand their place in the world. 

4th grade field trips are both day trips to local museums and cultural attractions, as well as important overnight trips like a multi day camping trip to the Cumberland Gap as they complete a study of Kentucky's past and geographical significance.

WALDORF SCHOOLS HONOR AND EMBRACE 

HUMAN DIVERSITY AND DIGNITY

Waldorf schools celebrate the diversity of humankind. Faculty, staff, and board pursue a path of human dignity and equity in organizational, leadership, and pedagogical realms. Schools are engaged in understanding and addressing the current and historical roots of inequity. These endeavors are of spiritual, moral, and educational importance and are rooted in Waldorf education’s founding vision, which included addressing contemporary social struggles within the context of the life of the school.
