“WSA’s teachers are the heart and soul of the school. Nowhere have I seen as much love and intense dedication to each child as an individual. It is truly special. ”
Curriculum Overview
The curriculum at the Waldorf School of Atlanta is a richly creative, developmentally appropriate blend of academic studies and the fine, performing, and practical arts. All subjects are taught experientially and artistically as well as intellectually. We offer a comprehensive, fully-coordinated learning environment focused on honoring childhood and preparing children for a lifetime of learning. Given the challenges presented in the past year, we have been able to adapt quickly to change and work together to keep the children learning and our community safely involved and engaged
Class teachers are fully certified by accredited Waldorf teacher training institutes (two years beyond the bachelor’s degree), and participate in continuing education programs annually. Except for math in middle school, which is taught by a specialized teacher, most academic subjects are taught by the class teacher, who typically moves up to the next grade each year with his or her students. Specialty teachers also support student learning and development over several years, instructing students in Spanish, music, handwork, woodwork, gardening, games, and eurythmy (expressive movement inspired by music and spoken verse).
