Curriculum & Classes

Central to our educational philosophy is the acknowledgment that children progress through distinct developmental stages. The Waldorf curriculum is meticulously tailored to correspond with these stages, ensuring that subjects and skills, including English, Math, Science, and Geography, are introduced at the optimal times when children are most receptive to learning them. Embracing a holistic approach, our curriculum integrates academic (head), artistic (heart), and practical (hand) activities, fostering a well-rounded educational experience.

Structured in accordance with these principles, our school offers classes organized as follows:

Kindergarten

Daisies: 18 months - 2.5 years

Sunflowers: 2.5 years - 4 years

Roses: 4 years - 6 years
