The Lower School

Class 1 - Class 7 (P3 - Year 9) — ages 6-13

The Waldorf Curriculum is guided by the developmental needs of the children and deepens understanding as children progress through the Lower School. A curriculum that deepens understanding, year on year, and is guided by the developmental needs of the children at that age.

As children move to the next class, they encounter the development of the same subjects and themes which forms an ascending spiral of learning. Each time the child returns to a subject, there is the opportunity to broaden and deepen the experience, as well as build on memories that both the child and teacher have shared.

The Waldorf curriculum responds to the developing child by leading the pupils in the Lower School towards learning to work together as a class, to help one another and cultivate social understanding.
