welcome to...
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.
Join in our Community Parenting Series, Monday, Jan. 11, 18 and 25, from 7:30 to 9 pm at CVWS, 38265 Westway Ave. Sessions are free and open to anyone interested in learning more about raising healthy, balanced children.
On Jan 11 explore Our 12 Senses - only when we understand all 12 senses can we clearly appreciate the importance of nourishing them, especially in small children. On Jan 18 delve into Children in Modern Society and look at the impact media has. Finally, Jan. 25 learn about The Soul of Discipline, co-presented with Heidi Schimpl. Find earlier presentations on YouTube.
