Lower School
A hands-on approach to knowing the world.
Exploration, Creativity, and Meaningful Learning
Green Meadow’s lower school curriculum engages the imaginative nature of the child, weaving together storytelling, creative inquiry, and meaningful hands-on experiences into every subject. Every day, students take part in immersive explorations, deepening their understanding while developing their capacities to participate, listen, observe, and think creatively.
The Waldorf Difference
The Morning Lesson
Each morning begins with a two hour period in which a given academic subject is studied through a multi-disciplinary lens for three to four weeks. Singing, dancing, playing, drawing, painting, crafting, cooking, reciting, and listening to stories are part of how our students learn math, language arts, and sciences.
This multi-layered exploration of a subject allows students to develop a true and deep connection to the topic at hand, relating it to their own life experience, and anchoring their understanding through doing.
The Waldorf Difference
A Vibrant Child-Centered Curriculum
At Green Meadow, we understand children’s need for movement, their innate curiosity for everything around them, and their need for active engagement in life.
Weaving artistic work, literature, and multiple cultural expressions, learning becomes meaningful and helps children make sense of the world around them.
Students are invested in their learning, creating lesson books with compositions, observations, illustrations, musings, poetry, diagrams, and exercises in every topic.
