the customer service and counselors for the camp were not friendly or inviting! But awkward and uninformative. I did not go back for the last days and did not get a refund or even offered one. I didn't even know where my son was when coming to pick up and no one knew where he was for an hour! My mom told me I should have called the police. Maybe I should have. The teacher was creepy and wierd My son did not like him and neither
We have been at AWS for 9 years with children in the 1st and 6th grades. The experience for both has been fantastic--they love learning, are confident and full of wonder at every new learning opportunity. The teachers are indeed masters and are devoted to educating not only the mind, but the heart and will as well. Everything about the curriculum interrelates and is developmentally appropriate. For example, in the 5th grade, they study ancient culture, including Greece, and work for months to participate in a Pentathlon, complete with a bonfire, odes they have written and illustrated, a Greek meal, etc. The event is done with reverence and culminates their studies for the year. I can't say enough good things about the school.
The opportunities given to students are amazing
An amazing education - for the whole family. Teachers are outstanding, great community, makes me want to go back to school. And hearing my children wake up every day wanting to go to school is unbeatable.
My niece Lilly Tischler goes to Austin Waldorf School and she is multi- talented and just amazing in every sense of the word, because of all she has learned in this fabulous school.
Developmentally geared curricullum. Best high schoolin world. Best teachers and administrator ! Wonderful community
The teachers are masterful. The children are instilled with a love of learning, a love of words and critical thinking. Their questions are thoughtful, creative and deep. An illistration: as a 17 yr old, my child went to a medical lecture with me. His question to the presenter stopped many of the audience from their own individual conversations. The speaker lit up and spoke for another 15 minutes in response to his question. It is commonfor these young adults go to college where their professors ask about their education and it is thru these children that their professors have the first introduction to the Waldorf education. I feel that i have provided the greatest gift of all by providing a Waldorf education to my child.
My grandson attends Austin Waldorf School. I am very glad he has the opportunity to go to this very worthwild and wonderful school with an education that will mean a lot to him in his life.
My daughter graduated from the Austin Waldorf School, attending since kindergarten. The school provided a well-rounded education in a warm, creative and beautiful setting. The education she received prepared her well for college.
IT s a small liberal arts school that provides an outstanding education in a great community of people. It has definitely prepared me for college.
