The aim of Waldorf Education is to educate the whole child: head (thinking), heart (feeling) and hands (doing).
The curriculum meets or exceeds all the Ministry of Education standards and balances academic subjects with artistic and practical activities. By freely using arts, crafts, music and movement in the service of teaching academics the child develops an internal motivation to learn.
Our teachers are all B.C. Certified and dedicated to creating a genuine love of learning within each child so they become confident, independent thinkers who respond to the world with compassion and creativity.
Our school strives to awaken capacities rather than to impose intellectual content on the child. In this way learning becomes an engaging voyage of discovery both of the world and of oneself.
