Working Example of a Waldorf School

The World of Waldorf video series shows children and teachers in their Waldorf schools.  The Sanderling Waldorf School in Encinitas, CA is a wonderful example of Waldorf principles put into practice.

Each student begins their day with a greeting, eye contact and a handshake with their teacher.  They enter a classroom full of natural light, natural materials and bright colors. During circle time the students and teacher sing a welcome song, followed by active learning.  The students physically move during instruction, clapping hands, performing sequential actions or tossing balls. 

 

Students reinforce their bond with each other and their teacher throughout the day with hand and eye contact, song and interactive learning. There is a noticeable lack of distracting technology, both for students and teacher.  Outdoor play and physical exertion is again emphasized through non-traditional sports and group activities

Students also spend quiet time doing handwork and embroidery, project books, drawing and reading. Student projects can be seen throughout the classroom and the outdoor space.

Throughout the video, students and parents talk about the benefits of their Waldorf school and how a Waldorf education seamlessly transitions into home life.
