What is a Waldorf Education?
Created over a century ago by Rudolf Steiner, the Waldorf curriculum integrates the arts, academics, hands-on learning, and a connection to the natural world. By catering to each child's developmental stages, students develop into free-thinking, socially responsible individuals who are ready to meet life's challenges.

waldorfnolaOur 3rd Grade students continued their farm block with an inspiring visit to Grow Dat Youth Farm! Located on a beautiful seven-acre site in City Park, Grow Dat operates a two-and-a-half acre sustainable farm, providing hands-on learning about sustainable agriculture, community, and stewardship of the land.
Our students explored the farm, learned about growing fresh, healthy food, and gained a deeper understanding of the work and care it takes to cultivate a thriving farm. Experiences like these bring their farm studies to life, fostering a connection to the Earth and an appreciation for the food we eat.
Thank you, @growdatyouthfarm, for hosting us and sharing your passion for sustainable farming! 🥕🍅🌽

waldorfnolaGeometry in Action📐
This week, our 7th Grade students took a trip to the @neworleansmuseumofart where they honed their skills in two-point perspective drawing. This activity is a core part of the geometry block, a significant focus in Grade 7 as students explore the interplay of geometric principles and artistic expression.
Perspective drawing is more than just an art technique—it’s a key developmental stage. In middle school, students are beginning to understand their unique viewpoint and how to express themselves creatively. Through this work, they gain a deeper appreciation for depth, proportion, and different perspectives—both on paper and in life.
Take a look at these works in progress!
