Why Waldorf-inspired Education Creates Great Scientists

October 25, 2013 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

One of the many reasons we decided to base Earthschooling on Waldorf-inspired principles was because of the strong science base Waldorf-inspired education provides.

October 11, 2010 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Sofi and I are studying the Fifth Grade Ancient Cultures block. In the first part of the block we talked about Ancient India.

Mineralogy Block

October 5, 2010 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Today we started our mineralogy block. We didn’t plan it that way but sometimes life brings opportunities you don’t want to miss out on! My dad called to say that he would be in town doing a rock show (he exhibits and sells minerals and gems around the country as his retirement job – he […]
