In a Waldorf classroom, geometric shapes don’t liv

In a Waldorf classroom, geometric shapes don’t live only on the pages of a book. 📚 They come to life in the hands of our students—felt, seen, constructed, and explored from every angle. 🟢

Recently, with the guidance of our guest teacher Marina McGrew, our 8th-grade students completed their final Geometry block, focusing on Platonic solids. These forms are deeply connected to patterns found in nature, including molecular structures, crystallography, and botany.

❓Did you know? There are only five Platonic solids and each corresponds to an element in nature:

🔴Tetrahedron (fire)
🟢Cube (earth)
🟡Octahedron (air)
🔵Icosahedron (water)
🟣Dodecahedron (universe/cosmos)

Students created each of these solids in both clay and paper, cutting, folding, and assembling their forms with care. Their paper models were then beautifully painted in watercolor to reflect their corresponding element.

This is how Waldorf education brings learning to life!

Adventure truly awaits when you’re a Waldorf stude

Adventure truly awaits when you’re a Waldorf student! ⛵️

Our Class 8 students recently embarked on their final class trip together, spending seven unforgettable days living aboard the Beacon Won sailboat in the Bahamas. 🗾

The Waldorf 8th Grade trip is a meaningful culmination of the academic, emotional, spiritual, and physical growth nurtured throughout the Waldorf journey. It also offers something increasingly rare: the chance to step away from the fast-paced world, leave screens behind, and be fully present with one another and the natural world.

During their journey, students snorkeled in crystal-clear waters, swam alongside nurse sharks 🦈, fed native iguanas 🦎, and marveled at vibrant schools of tropical fish 🐠. They explored the rich history of Nassau and took time each day to reflect with gratitude on their shared adventures.

They also gave back through two service projects on beaches in the Exumas Sea & Land Park 🏝️. Park rangers were so impressed by the students’ dedication and teamwork that they plan to recognize SWS in their local newspaper.

Way to go, Class 8! 💚
