Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Richmond Waldorf School welcomes students, families, faculty, staff, and guests of all races, ethnicities, cultural and religious heritages, socio-economic backgrounds, geographic origins, gender identities, sexual orientations, and family structures. We educate our students to respect the dignity of all people and we reject discrimination in all its forms. We seek to create, embrace, support, and nurture a diverse and inclusive community where everyone feels respected, connected, honored, and valued.
“The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
—Rudolf Steiner
Our 6th graders have begun their Business Math block, and their teacher, Ms. Hayward, wanted to emphasize the human element of money through this beautiful chalkboard drawing that will be prominently displayed in the classroom during their study.
The class discussed how money is just a symbol for an agreement between people, and that without the social agreement, money would be worthless. #waldorfchalkboard #waldorfchalkdrawing #waldorfeducation #6thgrade
