My children both attend Eugene Waldorf School and I can’t tell you enough how deeply the teachers at this school care for each and every student. The teachers use the Waldorf understandings of child development to create their curriculum anew every year to best meet the needs of the individual children before them that year, so the education is always meeting the children where they are at. I also attended a Waldorf school myself through high school and can share that I still remember things I was taught in elementary school, because they were brought through stories and we did our own writing about whatever we were learning, which helps you digest and really integrate information. Math and science are learned through experiences, so the children can truly feel the concepts underlying what is being taught, as opposed to rote memorization. Because the class stays together each year children are forced to work through challenging social dynamics when they arise with a long term view.
