- Observation Mornings & Information Evenings
Prospective parents’ first introduction to our school is often through an Observation Morning. Come see the campus and some of the classrooms and learn more about Waldorf education, our school, and class offerings. These events are for adults only. Please RSVP.
Observation Morning: Our next observation morning will be on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. Call us at (703) 486 – 1309 or email us here to R.S.V.P.
Bring your children to enjoy a morning in a Waldorf early childhood class. The Waldorf education curriculum, based on the nearly century old philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, strives to teach the whole child-head, heart and hands-through a play-based morning for the kindergartens and through experiential, arts-based methods in the grades. Waldorf education trusts the wisdom of the human being and nurtures a sense of connection, support and responsibility within the community.
The early childhood classes will be open for children to play and enjoy circle time or a puppet play. Grades teachers will be available to talk with parents about our school at our next Open House.
Upcoming Open House
