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!

The Waldorf Way: Why kids shouldn’t sit still in class
www.conwaydailysun.com
Sit still. It’s the mantra of every classroom.
More than just a school, we are a diverse, passionate, and engaged community bound by our shared commitment to doing good in the world. We know that creativity is the currency of the future, and that education is about more than the acquisition of information: it is about cultivating a sense of wonder.

Chalkboard drawings create mood and atmosphere in the classroom. They draw the children in through colour, becoming an artful aid to the students and encouraging them to enter their lessons imaginatively.

The Waldorf Class Teacher stays with their class for several consecutive years, acting as mentor, role model, and guardian. This begets a rich, shared experience, and a strong bond between the teacher and the students and their families.

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.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Calgary Waldorf School acknowledges Treaty 7 territory – the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy: Kainai, Pikani and Siksika as well as the Tsuu T’ina First Nation and Stoney Nakoda First Nation. 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.
