Welcome to Calgary Waldorf School
Central to Waldorf education is a deep respect for childhood. Our enriched curriculum is designed to meet the child’s specific developmental needs. Movement and time in nature is built into every student’s daily rhythm. The Waldorf learning experience is hands-on, with unwired and low-tech classrooms. The arts — music, story, drawing, painting, and drama — are interwoven through all subjects.
Explore our website to learn more and then join us for a school tour.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I hope you are now able to spend quality time with your family. Enjoy your summer!

By teaching children how to knit and allowing them to apply their discipline, focus, and coordination, in the creation of an item of value and usefulness, they learn that hard work can be rewarding. Through this process they build their sense of confidence and accomplishment.
The ancient Greeks had many monsters in their stories. The cyclops is a giant, one-eyed monster from Greek mythology. They helped Zeus overthrow the Titans so that he could become the King of the Gods. They were not always this helpful, however. Odysseus and a group of his men got trapped in a cave with one. He ate half of Odysseus’ sailors before being tricked into letting the remainder go.

PARENT ZONE QUICK LINKS
EDUCATION
Waldorf® Education addresses the learning needs of the whole child, developing: clarity in thought, balance in feeling and conscience and initiative in action.
The Waldorf approach recognizes that children have distinct, age-related educational and emotional needs that unfold through stages of their development.
BALANCED
To meet these needs, the Calgary Waldorf School’s rich and challenging curriculum carefully balances academic, artistic and practical activities to stimulate intelligence and encourage creativity.
NURTURING
Our nurturing social environment helps children develop exceptional interpersonal skills, self-confidence and self-reliance, fostering their own personal integrity and sense of social and environmental responsibility.
INTEGRATED
The Calgary Waldorf School is an independent private school founded in 1985. It offers Parent and Tot programs, Preschool and Kindergarten and Grades One through Nine.
Have a look around our website to explore the unique world of Waldorf Education and discover the advantages it can bring for the growth and development of your child.
Waldorf® is a registered service mark of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and is used by agreement of membership in AWSNA.
