Waldorf schools are not part of any church. They espouse no\u00a0particular\u00a0religious\u00a0doctrine but are based on a belief that there is a spiritual dimension to the human being and to all of life. Waldorf families come from a broad spectrum of religious traditions and interest.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We live in a Christian-Judeo influenced society and some of the celebrations and festivals of the year reflect that.

Its extended lesson length goes from the beginning of school to the morning recess. For 3-4\u00a0 weeks the teacher takes the class into a concentrated exploration of one subject. By taking a deep dive into a specific academic discipline, students have the chance to study each subject thoroughly and from\u202fa number of\u202fvantage points\u202ffusing the arts with the sciences. Main lesson subjects provide the major themes and a kind of identity for the school year. Waldorf teachers rarely use textbooks in the classroom in the early grades. The teacher penetrates the subject matter and brings the content they wish to impart into experience. The children create their own main lesson books relying on pre-digested material presented to them in conventional textbook. This allows children to absorb the material and make the learning their own.\u202fFrom discovering the alphabet in the first grade to discovering anatomy, students take part in the learning process by creating their own textbooks which are\u202fbeautifully-drawn\u202fportfolios of learning\u202f which \u202fcontains\u202f stories, essays, poems, illustrations, math equations\u202fand more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-kuoeytfz-d8280b4f65ac4d414a242150604ea63e'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><h3 data-fake-id='#toggle-id-19' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-19'>Subject Lesson<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h3><div id='toggle-id-19' class='toggle_wrap  '  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW23862523 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW23862523 BCX0\">A variety of subject classes are offered\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2 SCXW23862523 BCX0\">including:<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW23862523 BCX0\">\u00a0Visual Arts (water colour painting, oil painting, clay and beeswax modeling); Handwork (knitting, crocheting, cross stitch, leather working); Physical Health Education (PHE); Drama\/speech; Music (singing, recorder, guitar\/string ensemble (violin starts in Grade Four); French; Practical arts (wood\/metal work), Entrepreneurship, Media Studies, and Outdoor Education.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW23862523 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-kuoezae8-0a0b442d80973048d9871c04a0fde8e5'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><h3 data-fake-id='#toggle-id-20' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-20'>Special Education<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h3><div id='toggle-id-20' class='toggle_wrap  '  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We promote inclusive access to Waldorf education in which students with special needs are fully participating members of the school community.

During these transition years, use and exposure to media should be very moderate, under clear parental guidance and participation, and work towards the social and educational climate of the class. Media exposure can be a socially divisive influence in these years so care and attention must be brought in guiding the use of media during these years.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our media exposure guidelines in the High School recognize that it is appropriate for 15-19-year-olds to learn to critically approach and effectively use media. The school recognizes the importance of media literacy, including educating students to understand the technological principles underlying (and the social transformations resulting from) electronic media, and seeks to meet this need through a curriculum that includes research skills, the science behind new technologies, and the social consequences of the ongoing media revolution. However, because excessive use of electronic media undermines teenagers\u2019 living relationships to other people, the world around them, and themselves, parents should continue to monitor and limit their teenagers\u2019 exposure to electronic media and maintain an open dialogue with their teenage children about the role of media in their lives. Parents can monitor and limit student exposure to media by locating computers and video games in open areas of the home, and by maintaining a space of media-free quiet for the challenging and creative schoolwork of the High School, particularly during the school week. <\/span><span
