Waldorf/Steiner Early Childhood Program in SY 2009-2010: Provides a nurturing environment based on an understanding of the young child's special developmental needs before the age of seven. Modeled after a good home environment. The mixed-age kindergarten has the advantage of being even more like a large family; older children provide a model for the younger ones and help them, while the little ones bring a softer element to the 5 and 6 year olds.
Waldorf/Steiner Education Grades 1 to 5 SY 2009-2010: A 'Renaissance' education where children take all subjects and do not work only on areas in which they excel. The approach to learning is in a holistic way - arts, humanities and sciences are viewed as interwoven with one another, not as a separate fields.
Subjects taught are presented in a lively pictorial way, because the elementary school child learns best when information is artistically and imaginatively presented. During the rest of the day, special subject teachers fill out the rich curriculum by teaching foreign languages, Filipino orchestra, and other subjects.
Emphasis on moral qualities such as truth, beauty and goodness which are not proselytized but experienced in the way the classroom and school is built and cared for, in the actions of the adults around them, and in the content and approach in delivery of the lessons.
