Our NORTHEAST Portland Waldorf School will offer a four-day program in Fall 2012 for children in grades One day per week (Thursdays) will be spent on a farm, in a forest, in a field, in unstructured wilderness learning about Mother Earth and Nature. Connecting children with nature is one of the primary goals of Shining Star School Grades program.
Families are welcome to join the school on Thursdays in our Bio Immersion Program. Monday-Weds will be spent at our inner city urban campus located at 2120 NE Tillamook.
The children will be offered main lessons based on their age grouping, and come together for other subject classes such as handwork, foreign language including German, music, violin/cello, and games.
We are very interested to include families into our school as an inclusive learning community with mixed ages and a monthly workshop will be offered to help encourage parents to learn to express their artistic sides, their practical skills (handwork, woodworking, etc) and becoming more aware of the fundamentals of Waldorf education principles and methods.
Shining Star Waldorf School is leading the way with our history of purposefully small classes, wide-open doors, desire to push the envelope in the education of the child, and particularly, in re-inforcing the amazing and comprehensive opportunities for enormously significant lessons taken directly from the Book of Nature. We believe children learn best by 'doing' rather than 'hearing' or 'reading' about someone else's experiences. Are you interested to help pionner an inner city experimental program that delivers all the benefits of outdoor experiences as well?
Please consider visiting our grades program and observe our vibrant, kind, intelligent children. Meet our dynamic parent body. Encounter our caring teachers. We would welcome you on our journey! We will accept 30 children total for fall 2011.
