PAST AWARDS
Earthschooling is an award-winning (see award images & links on this page) secular Waldorf curriculum that is complete yet flexible, grounded in learning from nature, real-life experience, natural rhythms, hands-on activities, storytelling, painting, and handwork with natural fibers. Earthschooling uses the Waldorf curriculum as a framework, including lesson plans, instructional videos, and core curriculum created by certified Waldorf teachers, and it fulfills all the requirements of a Waldorf education. However, Earthschooling goes beyond what other Waldorf curriculum providers offer by aligning the curriculum with core standards for your location and providing a full range of teacher support tutorials, including Eurythmy lessons. In addition, a Waldorf-trained teacher is available online weekly to reply to member questions in our live forum
1. Flexibility in Style: We have made it easy for members to mix and match lessons and styles of education. We embrace all members from Waldorf parents/teachers to Montessori parents/teachers to unschoolers. Although designed as a Waldorf homeschooling curriculum, it is used by many public, Montessori, and Waldorf school teachers worldwide.
2. A Real Connection with Nature: We go beyond the ‘nature walks’ and ‘natural materials’ and show you how to bring as much nature into your classroom as possible through weekly nature walk themes (for early childhood), herbal identification (for the middle grades), wildlife tracking and bald eagle monitoring for the older kids and so much more. Earthschooling helps you make the earth your classroom. Our teachers and staff include herbalists, ecologists, and wildlife biologists.
3. Positive Community Support: No matter what style of education you use, you will find a positive support network with other members and ideas about how to find your own unique educational style. Our discussions always focus on sharing ideas and providing positive support. Our members and staff do not tell you what you “should be doing”.
4. Support for Diverse Locations: Earthschooling provides support for our Southern Hemisphere members and members in other areas of the world that do not experience the four seasons the way they are experienced in the “Western World”.
5. Support for Diverse Cultures: Earthschooling provides enrichment lessons for different languages, cultures, and religions. We even provide alternate stories for members who want to replace lesson blocks in the curriculum. For example, in our “Second Grade Saints” lesson block, we offer two sets of lessons: the traditional “Christian Saints” block and an alternative block that celebrates heroes from diverse cultures and regions worldwide.
6. Real Life Solutions: We realize that some children are transferring into our program from a public school or another system of education. We also recognize that you may be teaching multiple children simultaneously. We help you balance your students’ unique requirements, create a schedule that meets those needs, and recognize that not all students fit a stereotypical pattern.
7. Administrative Support: We provide charts and information on how our curriculum matches up with the core curriculum requirements of your state or country. We can also provide your child with a transcript and graduation certificate for each grade. We have certified teachers on staff that you can consult with for support or to fulfill your state requirements (if your state/country has any – many do not).
