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.

Waldorf 100 – The Film
The film “Learn to Change the World” shows people from around the world who work on the big pedagogical tasks of our time based on Waldorf pedagogy.
Being outdoors in all kinds of weather goes hand-in-hand with our philosophy of movement, unstructured play, and connection to nature being integral to early learning.
Our next Jr. Kindergarten & Kindergarten School Tour is Monday, Feb. 6th at 12:30pm - Join us!
In celebration of the Lunar New Year Class 2 heard the story of the Beast Nian, formed dragons from beeswax, and learned about Chinese paper cutting.
Play stimulates physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development in the early years, and it's a lot of FUN!

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.

We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We recognize the land as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
