Waldorf Essentials Class/Grade 1
In Waldorf education, we see first grade as the bridge between kindergarten and the grades. They are taller and older than last year and they now have the capacity to sit for longer stories and do the head work that begins in first grade.
“Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.” — Rudolf Steiner

Q. Is the training course required to teach this curriculum?
A. We realize many Waldorf families are low media and while we support that, please note that the training program includes things that will enhance and enrich your teaching, including eurythmy, art and more that are NOT included in the curriculum itself. These are pieces that are impossible to teach without a video. You will have the fullness of your Waldorf teacher training experience by working through the videos in the course.
Q. Is this curriculum secular?
A. That is a tricky question! We encourage inner work for parents. That is spiritual but NOT religious in content. In this curriculum, like all true Waldorf curriculum, you will encounter spiritual content in the festivals and cultural content in the lessons. If you have concerns about religion, please see the article we wrote HERE.
Q. Is this digital or hard copy?
