Academe of the Oaks

School inexplicably gutted its faculty recently, rendering this education quasi-Waldorf at best. Many teachers are not Waldorf trained or experienced and the most effective elements of the curriculum have been compromised as a result. Governance is highly centralized, making the transition from start-up to stable, long-term institution appear unlikely. School may be good fit for students either coming from Waldorf K-8 or needing fresh approach, but execution of the Waldorf ideal has eroded significantly in the past year.

Academe is the most amazing place - where students work in classes taught seminar style, where teachers use original, first-person literature rather than textbooks, and where every subject is taught, not to be memorized, but to be learned, understood, and used. Where was this place when I went to high school?!

They create loving citizens of the world by addressing the mind, body and spirit of the students from pre-k to 12th grade. The inclusion is wholistic of community: parents, student, teacher and community are one.
