Instead of telling children what to do, Waldorf early childhood teachers encourage children to find the will within themselves to do what is right. But how is this done?

Two current seniors at the Sacramento Waldorf School, Tyler Cochran-Branson and Riley Day, are working together to raise awareness on campus about climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of both the school and its inhabitants. 

No doubt you are aware of the powerful voices of countless youth across the globe who are challenging the public take climate change seriously. On September 20th, students from a number of Waldorf schools in North America took a stand.  We celebrate their community activism.

Through the First Nations grant program, students at the Lakota Waldorf School will learn to speak and understand the Lakota language and learn a strong cultural identity and reverence for the heritage through gardening, food preparation, and other Lakota traditions. 

Waldorf education uses the block structure of learning to make sure that students have the time they need to experience true learning and find relevancy and interest in the topic at hand. We call this academic learning block Main Lesson.
