“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility – these three forces are the very nerve of education.”

What a joy it was to experience our 7th-grade production of The Sword in the Stone. Guided by their class teacher, the students not only performed in the play, but also collaborated to design nearly every aspect of the production – from lighting and sound effects to prop construction and management (including a fierce dragon), costumes, script management, and program design. To witness 7th-graders – often at such an in-between stage of growth – come together on stage with such ease, confidence, and presence was truly a gift. They stepped fully into their characters and into their roles as creators behind the scenes. The gifts of a Waldorf education are wide and varied, and moments like these remind us what a blessing it is to be part of such a supportive and vibrant community. ...

During their study of thermodynamics, students used a magnifying glass to focus sunlight and ignite wood, observing heat, light, and energy transformation firsthand. This experiential approach deepens understanding and connects students directly to the natural laws at work around them. ...

Our 6th grade students flew to Neverland and brought this story to life with courage, creativity, and teamwork.
In Waldorf education, class plays are an essential part of learning—building confidence, empathy, and a strong sense of community while giving every child a chance to be seen and heard through storytelling and performance.
We are so proud of this class for the heart, joy, and dedication they brought to their work!

He ended the day with a rich, interactive session with our faculty and staff, continuing the work he has quietly and beautifully done here for so many years.

Today was an exciting day as we welcomed back our alumni to celebrate La Posada in the high school. The day began with our high school students offering the traditional gift of song in Spanish—a central La Posada custom that honors the journey of Mary and Joseph and the spirit of welcome, community, and hospitality. From there, the celebration moved into friendly competition for the coveted Golden Gnome Award.
After a festive Mexican feast and a piñata, the day concluded with the always-anticipated alumni vs. high school students basketball game. Yet the greatest gift of all was time spent reconnecting with our alumni—listening to their stories, witnessing their kindness, confidence, and purpose, and feeling deep gratitude for the beautiful, thoughtful adults they have become. Thank you, dear friends, for coming home and sharing the day with us.
