An incredible holistic education for my children!
The Charlottesville Waldorf School holds children in the highest regard by respecting their developmental stages in a comprehensive curriculum the weaves art, history, language, physical education, and more into their life experience. You also will not find more dedicated teachers than those at CWS.
It allows children to remain children
We have had our children in this school for 13 years. This school is truly the only place where learning occurs from the inside out. Information is not just thrown at the students. Children learn by doing, thinking and living what they study. The teachers are the most dedicated and caring individuals who truly do see each student as an individual. This school has functioned on very low budgets for too long and deserve the opportunity to grow and provide the best possible environment for waldorf education.
I am delighted that my grandchildren are in a learning environment which emphasizes emotional development and teaches them to explore their own creative potential. I believe the children benefit from the warm inviting classrooms, as well as the beautiful grounds. The teachers are impressive with their obvious commitment to learning and caring for the students.
Each child is given the opportunity to grow and develop into the person s/he is meant to be and learns how to be a part of the world.
It has the best educational environment available anywhere. The community that surrounds, supports and enlivens CWS is truely unsurpassed in it's dedication to nurturing the whole child.
In depth education.....not in a hurry to teach
a wonderful alternative, one that respects and nurtures each child as they grow.
The Waldorf curriculum has a strong emphasis on active, hands-on learning. As the children create handwork pieces, complete science projects, develop written (and artistic) reports, play in the orchestra, paint,sing and play outside, they gain confidence in themselves and appreciation for their classmates.
