Embark on a transformative fifth-grade adventure! 

Our program blends the enriching principles of Waldorf education with Common Core standards. 

Through in-depth exploration, focused projects, and artistic expression, your child will sharpen their reading, writing, mathematical reasoning, and scientific inquiry skills, expanding their knowledge of the world and growing as a thinker, problem-solver, and creator.

∙ Deepen Understanding Through Block Learning ∙

Our program utilizes a unique approach called block-based learning. Instead of briefly touching on many subjects each day, students immerse themselves in a single theme for 2-4 weeks at a time. 

This focused exploration fosters deep understanding, sparks connections across subjects, and empowers learners to achieve mastery.

∙ What Will Be Taught? ∙

⦿ Language Arts: Language arts learning is woven into every block, enriching your child's communication and literacy skills across all subjects. Learners will build skills in grammar, writing, and punctuation. Explore different writing styles, analyze texts, and create persuasive and descriptive pieces.
