Students are invited to join us on Wednesdays from 10:00am to 2:00pm for a Waldorf-inspired schedule that includes: PE, Handwork, Lunch, Art, and Main Lesson.

Main Lesson Teacher: Greg Hernandez

PE

In this class students will participate in various physical activities that promote learning through movement and play, encourages teamwork, and helps develop motor skills.

HANDWORK

Students will work with an experienced handwork teacher to cultivate patience, focus and perseverance all while strengthening their fine motor skills and self-confidence. Examples of handwork include hand sewing, weaving and finger knitting.

Art

In this class we will investigate and experiment with different mediums through process art. Process art focuses on the creative process rather than the end result. Students will familiarize themselves with different techniques and how the materials respond. By doing so, they are able to gain confidence in their creative expression.

Main Lesson

The main lesson is a deep dive into a subject for a period of time. Important skills will be incorporated, such as writing and composition, grammar, literature, the arts, math, vocabulary, spelling, and more. Example topics include: Ancient Civilizations, Practical Science Chemistry, Ancient Civilization Persia, and Practical Science Physics. This class will include engaging projects and activities to reinforce each topic.
