Great Oak Waldorf School

"Receive the child in reverence, educate the child in love, let the child go forth in freedom." R. Steiner

CONGRATULATIONS to our 8th Grade graduates! We have REVERED you and LOVED you and look forward to all that you will do with your talents, wisdom, warmth, and freedom. Your helpful hands and caring hearts will be missed on campus, but remember that the 'Oak Grove' is always your home!

If you would like your child(ren) received in reverence, educated in love, and sent forth with freedom, please join us for our next school tour on June 9th.

This year's graduation song will be Sinatra's 'I Did it My Way' altered to 'We Did It Our Way' which is a perfect fit for this creative, talented, and wise group!!! We are so proud of you and celebrate your achievements over the past eight years but particularly your accomplishments this year of your BEAUTIFUL main lesson books, your incredibly inspiring 8th grade capstone project presentations, your successful, snowy trip to Alaska, and your riotous, remarkable play, 'The Princess Bride'!! Go forth and be an inspiration, come visit often and remember that 'The Oak Tree' is always your home!!

Our 6th and 8th graders transported us all to a magical land in their masterful production of 'The Princess Bride' a few weeks ago. Congratulations to these two wonderful classes who came together to give our school community a lot of laughs, a few tears, and another reason to make us all love storytelling and the power of theater!! Let us all be heroes of friendship!

We send big congratulations to our high school graduates! We are so proud of you and send you love and best wishes for all that the future has in store for you!! Remember that 'The Oak Tree' is always your home - go make magic in the world!!

Congratulations to our wonderful Ms. Martins and the precious 1st grade class who brought us a wise tale of "The Magic of Friendship". While we adults are focused on how sweet the voices, gestures, and singing voices are, we also know that a play production builds skills of courage, speech, team work, memory, patience, etc. Thank you to everyone who helped make these magical memories!!

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY GREAT OAK WALDORF SCHOOL!!!

To wonder at beauty,
Stand guard over truth,
Look up to the noble,
Resolve on the good....

These halls have been blessed by many hearts and many hands over the years to create an education of beauty, truth, nobility, and goodness! Thank you to everyone who has been on this incredible journey as this school began, grew, and evolved!! This community is one to be proud of and we appreciate all of the students and parents from the past seventeen years and we look forward to meeting those of you who will join us in the future!

Summer is almost here! We have fun, engaging week-long day camps throughout June and July for ages 3-12 to keep your kiddos moving, creating, and socializing (and give you a break too!). Our camps will all take place on our Grades Campus, are staffed by our experienced teachers, and are open to non-enrolled students. We hope you will join us!

We are deeply grateful to the many, many community members and businesses who so generously and graciously supported our recent Gala. We had people and local businesses give their time, talent, and/or treasure and we appreciate all that was offered to continue to grow and sustain our lovely school community.

We always appreciate our teachers, but we delight in having a teacher appreciation week to further sing their praises. Our teachers are magic makers every day, but recently, our teachers worked with their students to create extraordinary projects that were then auctioned at our recent Gala. Enjoy viewing these here and many, many thanks to our community members who supported these teachers and our school by purchasing these priceless keepsakes!!
