Program accomplishments

  • Provided classical education to 278 students from infancy to grade twelve. The CWS Early Childhood programs built a strong foundation for later intellectual growth through our nursery, kindergartens and parent and tots/nature tots programs. The grade school programs provided a classical academic education utilizing an interdisciplinary, hands-on approach to learning. The high school program educated students based on the knowledge that learning is not only an intellectual exercise but a process that engages a child's empathy and initiative. CWS offered many lectures and other learning opportunities for community members and the public regarding Waldorf Education throughout the year.
