The Benefits of a Charter School Education

As a charter school, we have the freedom to design a curriculum that meets the unique needs of our students, integrating Waldorf principles with provincial educational standards. This allows us to offer a diverse range of programs and activities that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and a deep connection to the world around us. Our commitment to small class sizes and individualized attention ensures that each child receives the support they need to thrive academically and personally. Join us at Waldorf Inspired Schools of Edmonton and experience the distinctive advantages of a charter school K-9 education.

CLASS SEVEN

Daily life in the seventh grade has its moments of turbulence, discovery, and (of course) humour. As students assert their independence, they look for examples of earnest striving in the adults around them. Teachers guide seventh graders toward the recognition of their own talents and capacities. History lessons explore the dramatic shift in human consciousness from the concept of an earth-centered universe to that of a planetary system with the sun at its center.

CLASS EIGHT

If the seventh grader is said to be on a voyage of discovery, the eighth grader can be thought of as a revolutionary. Revolutionary periods are studied in history, the world in geography, the short story in Language Arts and the platonic solids in Geometry. Anatomy and Physiology add to the student’s knowledge of themselves, and Meteorology enhances their understanding of the greater world. Students continue to find artistic expression in chorus, playing an instrument, and working with their hands in sewing and woodwork.

CLASS NINE

The ninth grade curriculum asks students to observe, question, and imagine alternatives. Developmentally, they are poised for analytical thought and academic rigor,yet often they see the world in black and white. Therefore, the course work in ninth grade explores polarities and contrasts, mirroring the physical and emotional changes that occur at this stage of adolescence and laying the foundation for nuanced and abstract thinking.
