 Mission
Statement
With the magnitude of the environmental,
social and economic challenges of our time, and the apparent
inadequacy of our current solutions, we recognize the
importance of preparing the future generation to better
meet these challenges. We believe that children given
the support of a Waldorf education, will become free-thinking
adults able to create new solutions to the problems of
our age and to impart purpose and direction to their own
lives.
Goals
- To provide children in
the greater Burlington area with a high quality Waldorf
education from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
In this endeavor we strive:
- to impart a joy for learning,
- to develop human values,
- to balance academic, artistic and active techniques
in the presentation of curriculum,
- to draw out and guide each child’s unique talents
while maintaining a diversity and balance in interests,
skills and knowledge,
- to provide a “classical” curriculum which imparts
a historical and global perspective to our students,
- to foster confidence, self-reliance, independence
and individualism,
- to present the curriculum in a manner and timing
that corresponds to the child’s development
- to encourage respect for humanity and nature,
and
- to inspire an awareness of the spiritual foundation
of existence.
- To provide a center for
parents and friends to share in the artistic and social
elements of the school. In building community we hope:
- to provide support for the children,
- to offer opportunities for an individual’s growth
through his or her involvement with the school,
and
- to encourage social change.
- To provide parents with
the opportunity to create a philosophical continuity
between home and school. We hope to enrich life by:
- supporting festivals and rituals,
- deepening the relationship between children and
their parents, and
- assisting parents in understanding their children’s
development.
