1st 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. 

Students in First Grade use holistic, experiential learning to delve into a robust academic program that engages all this senses to cultivate creativity, initiative, and purpose! 

Children come to First Grade full of curiosity and are met by teachers who foster the skills necessary to learn, work, and play in an atmosphere of warmth and reverence. 

This year, our First Graders will begin writing, reading, and counting. Children build skills in ways that fully engage body and mind, deepening understanding and building solid foundations upon which they will scaffold the entire rest of their academic careers! 

  Students will use their bodies to form the shape of letters as they learn. They will march, stomp, and jump their way through counting and number sense. Fairy Tales, form drawing, painting, sculpting, singing, and knitting all round out the learning day for the First Grade child.

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.
