What are Living Lessons?

Living Lessons are not an online school. Our goal is and always has been to assist the parent/teacher in their own classroom. We also feel it is important that the parent/teacher remains involved in the lessons to stay true to the Waldorf methods. So Living Lessons are a classroom assistant for you and a way for you to become a better teacher by having another teacher lead, guide, and inspire you. Here are some ways in which you may use the Living Lessons:

1. You are homeschooling multiple ages and need a virtual teacher now and then so you can offer each of your students individual attention.

2. You are looking for a virtual classroom experience with a Waldorf teacher.

3. You need a break now and then from homeschooling full time.

4. You want to enhance your own skill set by watching other teachers present Waldorf lessons.

5. You want to join a community of other parents experiencing Living Lessons with opportunities for your kids to connect with other kids in the program.

6. You are running a business or working from home and need a virtual teacher to help you homeschool.

7. You recently moved or are experiencing health challenges that make it hard to homeschool full time.

8. You are new to homeschooling and need a boost of confidence to start off your year.

9. You are new to Waldorf education.

10. You feel overwhelmed with the prospect of homeschooling or you have been forced into homeschooling by the pandemic and are feeling lost.

Future Ancient Civilizations Blocks:

Persia – In this block, we will explore the roots of magic, wizardry, stone circles, and the advent of agriculture (across the world). More details to come.

Mesopotamia/Egypt – At some point, human beings became more comfortable with their lives on the earth and began to see the world of nature as a divine revelation. The arts of sacred geometry, architecture, astrology, music, math, and others were greatly advanced during this period. We will explore all of that in this block, including pondering mysteries like, “Why exactly did the Egyptians mummify their dead? What were they doing for the souls of the departed in this practice?”

Greece – Ancient Greek culture has had a significant impact on the developing world up through modern times through their art, theatre, rhetoric, philosophy, logic, language, science, democracy, and more. Studying these contributions helps students understand how we got to where we are, both in terms of the Greeks’ gifts as well as the pitfalls. In this block, we will learn about these contributions with a balanced eye, something the Greeks themselves would be proud of. Notable personalities, including a number of heroic Greek women, will be highlighted.
