From cooperative play that supports classroom dynamics to track and field skills, circus arts, and team games, Movement Arts at Richmond Waldorf School gives students space to practice physical stamina, social skills, and creative performance. Across all grades, our program weaves in developmental movement patterns, somatic awareness, and functional movement to build confidence, coordination, and community from the inside out. Shout out to our Movement teacher, Ms. Elizabeth, who makes every Movement class challenging and fun for our students!

What started over ten years ago as a simple idea between a knowledgable parent and an inspired class teacher has transformed into one of the most beloved programs at Richmond Waldorf School. 🚴‍♂️✨ Biking at RWS isn't just about learning to pedal, it's deeply integrated into how our students learn and grow. From building confidence and resilience to supporting motor integration, spatial awareness, and focus in the classroom, watching our students hit new milestones on two wheels is a daily joy at our school. If you see us cruising through the neighborhood, give us a wave! Our brand new Grades playground includes an updated pump track for all of our students to enjoy! Join us on Monday, August 24th at 5:30pm to see the new pump track in action. Curious about our biking program? Read the full story of how parent and instructor Glenn Amey, along with our amazing community, built this program from the ground up at the link in our profile. ✨🌈
