Light has returned with the glowing flame, Watching over your home and hearth. This is the time of rebirth When you may find abundance on your path. The time to celebrate the nurturing and the warmth." . . : Available now, plus 20% off at our School Store until February 20th. Click for terms and details. See more

All children should see themselves in our toys, books and art. This month, we're featuring products from our online school store that honour Canada's #BlackHistoryMonth.

We must do be...tter. See the entire collection: https://loom.ly/JfIQdN8. As a THANK YOU to our community for your ongoing support, the store is offering 20% off when you purchase before Feb 20th.

Waldorf Academy parent Danielle Marcos says her son’s education not only teaches him to do things hands-on and be creative in every endeavor - but it also sets her up to be a more hands-on and creative parent.

There are more than 5 senses in the human being! Join Ms. Mamdani to learn about the 12 senses in this free presentation on November 25th. Ms. Mamdani began her career as an educator more than 25 years ago teaching in the public system. Though she loved working with children, she was surprised and discouraged by the hurried pace of learning. This disappointment led to an investigation through which she discovered Waldorf Education in 2000. She joined the Waldorf Academy facu...lty in 2011 and feels fortunate to have discovered the magic and richness of Waldorf that not only transformed her but also the direction of her life.
