School Spotlight
“The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
—Rudolf Steiner

Last week our first graders explored the magic of numbers, finding a five pointed star in an apple. Each star had 2 seeds in each point. 5 X 2=10!

Several weeks ago, our students had the absolute honor of working with renowned cellist, Christoph Wagner, during his week long residency at University of Richmond.
Christoph attended Waldorf schools throughout his entire education in his home country of Germany. It was there he was first introduced to the cello, and has since made a prestigious career for himself, performing all over the world.
Christoph was so excited to visit a Waldorf school in the states and performed both a concert for our student body as well as this Master Class for our strings students completely pro bono.
The magic and lifelong connection of Waldorf education in action! 🎶 ✨
We can’t wait to welcome all of you to campus on Saturday, December 3rd from 3-6pm for this year’s Holiday Faire!
